Finance

A solid foundation in finance is required for many business careers and for admission into certain graduate schools of business administration. Northwestern University School of Continuing Studies offers a certificate program consisting of continuing education courses in finance. This group of courses provides core knowledge, ranging from basic concepts and models to corporate finance to investment theory. Students who have no previous finance course work must begin with Finance 202. The prerequisites for this course will ensure that all students are prepared for the complexity and challenge of the subject, which is typically taught to undergraduate students only after they have completed extensive prior course work.
