About this badge

Learn how corporations finance their activities and how to analyze key factors that drive corporate transactions. Three professional certificate options are offered to meet the needs of students who are new to the field, particularly those considering an M.B.A. program, as well as professionals who wish to advance their expertise in a particular area of specialization.

The Certificate in Investment Banking, which can be completed in nine months, is a foundation-focused program emphasizing core skills and competencies. The advanced certificate builds upon that with specialization either in Sales and Trading or in Research Analysis.

Upon completion of the program, students gain an understanding of investment banking, including expertise in areas such as:
- Financial management and corporate growth, including the use of both internal and external funds
- Equity and debt financing
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Initial public offerings
- Corporate restructuring
- Joint ventures and other strategic alliances
