(FIN I) Introduction to Corporate Finance

This course covers the foundations of corporate finance. We will study how to value assets and liabilities, with a focus on corporate investment projects. We will use the tools of valuation to study portfolio management (the tradeoff between risk and return) and corporate financial decision-making (how firms make financing, capital structure, and investment decisions).This course requires little prior exposure to finance. The ECON section is approved for field credit for the ECON BA, BS, and Minor Programs. NOTE: ECON majors may only count units from one of the following towards their major requirements as the courses are too similar in content: ECON 140 or ECON 135.
