So I graduated last May with degrees in Economics and Statistics and I work in downtown Chicago at a small economic consulting firm, mainly working on securities class actions, but some work in valuation, antitrust, market manipulation and white papers. My long term goal at the moment is most likely law school, but I’m open to going to business school. I’m considering looking for other jobs in a few months, maybe more geared towards finance. So I am considering taking finance classes at the UChicago Gleacher Center. These classes would be Corporate Finance, Financial Accounting, and two electives. Each class costs $1,350 and taking four classes culminates in receiving the non-credit Financial Decision Making certificate.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this program? Does it seem useful at the surface? I feel like it would be useful in getting a more finance related job as I have some exposure to finance through my current job and I have an economics and math background but I’m lacking in actual finance coursework. It could also be useful to have a finance background post-law school.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!
