Owen is recognized world-wide for its finance faculty, who have received many awards for their research and teaching and also serve on prestigious editorial boards. Corporate recruiters know that Vanderbilt MBAs receive rigorous training that enables them to accept challenging assignments after graduation. As a result, the school traditionally turns out more finance graduates than any other single discipline.
Owen finance courses provide students with a strong grasp of the fundamental techniques required for the practice of financial management. Relying upon our extensive experience in the classroom, we continually update the finance curriculum to incorporate the latest developments and important innovations in academic research.
The primary areas of study are corporate finance and investments. A focus in corporate finance prepares students for positions in investment banking, commercial banking, corporate treasury departments, and financial strategic consulting. A focus on investments makes it possible to pursue positions in sales and trading, investment management, risk management, security analysis, and private wealth advisory services.
