Course Description for Finance and Accounting (MB310)

Students learn basic concepts and language of finance and accounting and learn to create, interpret, analyze, and evaluate financial statements (e.g., balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement). Armed with this knowledge, students then use case studies and in-class exercises to analyze how managers use data presented on financial statements to make decisions about budgeting, cost allocation, and overall company performance. In addition, students get introduced to investing, investment decision-making, cost of capital, and the time value of money.

Submission process

Complete applications that include a cover letter, CV, and evidence of teaching effectiveness will be reviewed. A PhD or advanced degree in a related field is preferred.
