Financial Management is an introductory course designed to acquaint the graduate student with issues of importance to financial managers, providing the basis for further study as well as application in career settings. The elements of financial management are explored in a mathematical framework, enabling the student to develop competencies in such areas as determining break-even points, working capital management, calculating the time value of money, financial and investment analysis and long term financing. While the course focuses on corporation finance, many of the concepts studied find application in personal finance and investment matters.
