UNC Kenan-Flagler's MBA degree program features highly coordinated, flexible classes with a global perspective that prepare you to achieve a new level of professional and leadership success in just two years. Students benefit from small class sizes, a core curriculum that is complemented by optional career concentrations, allowing students to craft an individualized educational experience, and the experience of their peers through their diverse study groups. The concentration in Capital Markets and Investments (CMI) is designed to prepare students for positions on both the buy and sell side of the capital markets, including corporate treasury, securities analysis and portfolio management, sales and trading, and personal client services. The required curriculum includes both a rigorous theoretical component and a demanding applied component. Courses are structured to provide students a nearly comprehensive preparation for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) program. Many CMI concentrators choose to apply to the Applied Investment Management (AIM) course in which students manage a real portfolio of financial assets. Historically, UNC Kenan-Flagler has placed about 15 percent of the graduating class in positions involving capital markets and investment. The school has alumni in all global financial centers and major financial institutions.
