MBA programs for Equity Research

Hi All —

At a crossroads in my career looking to make a pivot. Am very interested in pursuing Equity Research with hopes of going IR for a covered company, but am a career Oil & Gas FP&A guy (with a small stint as a generalist at a L/S fund). I don’t particularly want to stay in the energy space, but with my background, I keep getting pigeon into those types of roles.

I’m curious what MBA programs have done a good job of placing into ER programs. I know Wisconsin has an Applied Security Analysis program that I’ve heard good things about...any others with that type of focus?
