Need Help Choosing Between 2 Courses

Hello,

I am currently choosing courses to enroll in for my MS Finance program. I am somewhat uncertain about which course to choose. I want to know whether one course has more of a practical use/ would appeal more to employers. I included both courses below with their description.

As a side note my main interests are in Investment Banking and Private Equity, but I also believe Corporate Finance is interesting hence my confusion.

Any information and or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
