Finance Investment Management Graduate Certificate

Finance is one of the foundational disciplines in business. The financial services industry creates demand for finance professionals; this sector includes banks, insurance companies, brokerage and investment companies, and others that sell finance-based services. In addition, every business needs its own in-house professionals to manage the many financial decisions that must be made on an ongoing basis, such as capital budget allocations, developing strategies to raise and manage equity, long-term debt, and working capital, and investing the cash the business raises.

The graduate certificate in investment management is aimed primarily, though not exclusively, at the financial services industry, including such courses as Investments and Portfolio Management.

The investment management certificate is made up of two prerequisites (three credit hours), two core courses (six credit hours), and at least two electives (six semester credits), depending on program affiliation and prior coursework.

The electives listed above represent the typical set from which most students will choose. Students may be able to choose other electives with the approval of the Program Director.
