Cornell's #1 ranked Engineering Physics Dept.

An iBanking BB target?

It depends on what you mean by "iBanking." I'm sure Cornell AEP is probably good for quant funds or "trading" jobs in the Sales & Trading operations of investment banks, but probably wouldn't be very useful for Investment Banking, proper. (i.e. Strategic Advisory and Debt and Equity issuances)

What exactly is the difference? Although I think I understand, I just want to make sure.

Are they both offered at the same firms with similar salaries? Or are they completely different things?

Okay, I have done more research.

But I have some questions.

In actual iBanking you get a 4-year degree. Work for 2 years then get an MBA and then work again, correct?

But if I went into Sales and Trading after getting a 4-year degree from Cornell's AEP, would I be required to further pursue more education(such as a phD)? Or only the 4-years are required for S and T?

Thanks.
