LSA students taking Ross classes

<p>I am wondering what classes someone would recommend to someone who is an econ/math student in LSA seeking an investment banking internship/job.</p>

<p>LSA students are limited to 20 credits in Ross and there is an investment banking track through Ross' Finance focus.</p>

<p>Investment Banking</p>

<p>Essential:
FIN 300 - Financial Management----------------------------3 credits
FIN 308 - Capital Markets and Investment Strategy----------1.5 credits
FIN 309 - Fixed Income Securities/Markets------------------1.5 credits
FIN 314 - Corporate Investment Decisions-------------------3 credits
FIN 317 - Corporate Financing Decisions---------------------3 credits
FIN 380 - Options and Futures in Financial Decision Making---1.5 credits</p>

<p>Recommended:
FIN 315 - Financial Institutions------------------------------??
FIN 325 - Entrepreneurial Finance----------------------------3 credits
FIN 329 - Financing Research Commercialization---------------3 credits
FIN 352 - Macroeconomic Analysis of Capital Markets----------??
FIN 412 - International Finance Management I-----------------1.5 credits
FIN 414 - International Finance Management II-----------------1.5 credits</p>

<p>I have also taken an Accounting Principles I course a few years ago but a refresher would be nice and Ross offers a Non-Bus Accounting course for 3 credits or the traditional Ross route which consists of 2 Accounting Principles courses at 3 credits each.</p>

<p>Assuming I utilize all 20 credits available at Ross, which of the previous courses do you recommend since there is more than 20 credits listed.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance for your advice</p>

<p>Talk to your advisor. He or she can probably recommend the best option for you.</p>

<p>i highly recommend fin314. you learn the fundamentals of valuing firms and projects, which is what a lot of investment banking is. a lot of hands on projects and excel work.</p>

<p>fin 308, 309 and 380 are all great classes. fin317 is ok (currently in it, and it seems like a dumbed down fin300).</p>
