Advanced Financial Modeling: New Finance Course Offered in Fall
To meet the demand in the job market and to enhance students' marketability by providing them with advanced technical skills to augment and expand upon their knowledge of finance, the Finance Department of the Sam M.

Special Topics FINN 410V (Advanced Financial Modeling) will be offered on Mondays and Wednesdays 4:35-5:50 p.m. and taught by Cinder Zhang, Ph.D.
