Corporate Finance

Catalog description

This course is a study of the function of finance and the flow of funds within the corporation. This course emphasizes financial analysis, decision-making, planning and controlling, capital acquisition and use, and strategic planning. This is a 3-credit course. It is required that students have had an undergraduate finance class or equivalent prior to attempting this class. This course focuses on three competencies within the MBA program: numeracy, decision-making, and communication. The financial and calculatory elements represent numeracy. This skill is then used to improve the decision-making ability of the financial manager. The decisions are then communicated, in this class, in written format to the end user (board, shareholders, and other stakeholders). It is also expected that financial practitioners will make decisions based upon ethical practices, therefore, ethical and spiritual development is also involved.
