Classes to help

I know this may be a tired subject...but if anyone could give me some insight on what classes to take to aide me in getting into ibanking. I am an industrial engineering major and trying to decide to take econ, or accounting classes as electives. Also, are there any alums from Purdue on here that may be able to share their stories of how they made it w/ me, that would be great.

 

Take as many finance classes as you can. Financial and managerial accounting would also be very helpful.

Definitely advanced financial, which not only is more relevant but also is at a higher level. When they say accounting is important in banking, they're mostly referring to financial accounting, not managerial. Managerial accounting is more useful for managers and controllers (and possibly consultants), but in banking you would want an external user's point of view. Take finance courses and Financial Statement Analysis. I heard that's the most useful class of them all.
