Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Finance, Investment and Banking - Madison - WI - Wisconsin - I2159

The curriculum of our department prepares students for careers in corporate financial management, the investments and securities business, and the management of financial institutions, e.g., banks and insurance companies. The theory of finance and its applications are emphasized. Students learn about: security analysis and valuation, security trading, government policy and financial markets, financial forecasting, capital structure, financial risk management, venture capital, security issuance and international finance.

A significant part of our coursework teaches you to understand risk and uncertainty, both at an intuitive level and at a technical level. More importantly, you learn to construct models of financial decisions, e.g. an investor’s portfolio choice problem, the issuance of securities by corporations and the structure of financial investments by banks. These models are inherently quantitative, relying on knowledge of calculus and statistics. Not surprisingly then, you should be well prepared in mathematics before you enroll in finance courses.
