IT Concentration: Finance
For those entering the program prior to Fall 2003 semester & beyond
Contacts: Robert Sands and Jim Murtagh
Description:
The Finance concentration prepares students for careers in the financial sector and in corporate finance functions.
To complement the Information Technology core, the student will experience financial analysis and trading, financial decision making, and their applications. Special finance problems in high-tech industries will be explored, as well as the impact of technology on financial markets, financial institutions, and financial management in modern corporations.
This concentration provides an in-depth understanding of investment decision making and risk management including stocks, bonds, options, futures, and swaps; that is, the elements of financial engineering. You’ll be expected to take additional information systems and operation research courses.
The capstone course will closely integrate the IT and MIS course experiences in an extended application involving either corporate financial information systems or real time trading and market information management.
