<p>if you want to work in Investment Banking, you dont need a finance major
for finance, usually a degree from a top ivy or a school like stanford would be sufficient to get yourself in the door</p>

<p>but for schools with a finance major per se
Princeton has a great program
Wharton(of course)
NYU Stern(their specialty)
University of Michigan Ross
UVA
MIT Sloan
UNC Kenan Flagler
Tepper
Gtown<br>
Cornell AEM
USC Marshall and UC Berkely Hass if you want to work on the west coast</p>

<p>there are other ones but these are the power houses</p>

<p>i know several lower tier programs also have great recruiting but these schools are on the leaders</p>

<p>some lower ranked schools have honors or specialty programs that get recruited for exp. indiana university kelley school of business’s investment banking work shop</p>

<p>thx so much too sheed! hmm how is williams & mary’s business/international/finance program? thx. </p>

<p>the more suggestions the more helpful :slight_smile:

  1. finance (esp international) (banking)
  2. exchange programs, study abroad,
  3. france,if possible:)</p>
9

<p>zoolander and Sheed30 have provided an excellent summary. Great job, guys.</p>

10

<p>well indiana’s investment banking program is not exactly that easy to get into.</p>

<p>first question is where do you want to work?</p>

<p>exchange programs-most schools have them</p>

<p>france? </p>

<p>I suggest that you apply to a foreign business school
in britain there is
Warwick
London school of economics
IE(spain)</p>

<p>etc.</p>

11

<p>zoolander- princeton doesnt have a single business program</p>

12

<p>Since we are talking about finance programs not business programs, princeton qualifies cause it does have a finance program(it is more math intensive than others though)</p>

<p>google it</p>

13

<p>hey thx so much! you guys know a lot :slight_smile:
well i’m pretty sure i’m going to the states or canada for university…not UK :frowning:
and i don’t know where i want to work yet, i will probably come back to Asia a few years after i graduate…
and does anyone know how is williams & mary’s business/international/finance program?
also please recommande me some more schools (that are not that reach-reach) for strong finance program :)</p>

14

<p>Northwestern and Princeton both have certificate programs…for finance.</p>

15

<p>The most hard-core finance program available to undergrads is probably Kellogg certificate for undergrads. [Kellogg</a> School Certificate Program for Undergraduates - Kellogg School of Management - Northwestern University](<a href=“http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/certificate/index.htm]Kellogg”>http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/certificate/index.htm)
The first course is the same accelerated finance course that combines two quarters of MBA finance into one quarter. The bad thing about this is you can’t apply as a HS senior because high school seniors don’t have the required pre-reqs.</p>

<p>How does Emory’s finance program rank?
Thanks people</p>

19

<p>emory is pretty high as well according to most of the rankings/stats (:
but i heard it’s expensive…</p>

<p>i am at stern right now and it seems stern is leaning towards a international business phase. We have many many international programs and etc. if you want to do international finance, i would definately consider stern</p>
