<p>Question at bottom of post...</p>
<p>am an Economics major with a minor in Accounting and Finance, but I want to work in Finance. </p>
<p>I'm almost done with the minor, but want to take at least a few other courses to provide me with more technical skills.</p>
<p>(required for finance major)</p>
<p>Business Law I
Managerial Accounting
Legal and Regulatory Processes
International Finance
Options and Futures Markets
Insurance and Risk Management
Capital Budgeting
Real Estate Investment and Finance
Investments</p>
<p>(required for acct. major)</p>
<p>Intermediate Accounting I
Intermediate Accounting II
Managerial Accounting
Managerial Finance
Legal and Regulatory Processes
Cost Accounting
Federal Taxation
Financial Information Systems and Control
Advanced Financial Reporting</p>
<p>Can you list five courses that you would also recommend I take? </p>
<p>An ambitious/helpful poster could also rank the courses in each section from most important to least important. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>1) Intermediate 1
2) Intermediate 2
3) Federal Taxation
4) Business Law
5) Capital Budgeting</p>
<p>Intermediate Accounting will teach most of what you need to know about financial statements. Two thing inevitable in life - death and taxes. Always good to have some knowledge of the nature of contracts. Capital budgeting maps out long-term investments of the company.</p>
<p>1.Capital Budgeting
3.Managerial Accounting
2.Managerial Finance
4 and 5.Intermediate Accounting I and Intermediate Accounting II (take both if you take one)</p>
<p>i wouldn’t base my schooling around being an IB (which I’m assuming you want to be), take more generalized classes to become an all round guy. because everybody and their grandma wants to be an investment banker these days, so its harder to become one even if your a great student. </p>
<p>Thank you for your response. I don’t want to be an I-Banker; I want to be middle-class (all-around guy). If it paid well, I’d go into psychology or some humanity.</p>
<p>edit- I’ve taken Managerial Finance. Does everything from here on out dig deeper into that or introduce brand new material?</p>
<p>I’m wondering if I can make hundreds of B-Law flashcards (rote learning FTW) and get a solid grasp on that subject, but form what I hear it is one of the more difficult CLEPS. I’m assuming that also makes it one of the more difficult subjects that can be taken on the CLEP exam.</p>
