Finance Major: Which Specialization Track?
Hey Guys
I am approaching my second year at McCombs and Finance majors have to pick a special track. I narrowed it down to Investment Management track or Corporate Finance/Investment Banking track. Managing funds/wealth management and investments always seemed pretty cool to me but IB also sounds very cool as well. It's kind of too early to think about this but I am a proactive person but as far as both of these tracks go how is the demand/job prospects/opportunities fare, internship opportunities (especially in Texas), moreover what type of careers can you get with these two tracks? Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks,

Many of the Finance tracks
Many of the Finance tracks lead to similar career paths. My academic advisor has always told me to select tracks based off your interest in courses instead of career path. I was in your shoes a year ago trying to decide between the Energy and Investment Management tracks and ended up going Energy after looking at the credit requirements and realizing the optional courses allow for great scheduling flexibility. Check out the track requirements on the Finance page of our website.
Keep in mind that the Corporate Finance track requires the most accounting credits of all the Finance tracks.
