The return on Investment of the Darden MBA remains rock-solid, and the University of Virginia’s School of Business offers a top-tier MBA in Investment Management. Taught fully online, the program includes two optional on-campus residencies that provide students with an immersive, experiential learning opportunity.
The online MBA in Investment Management is designed to give students the skills they need to become effective asset managers. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles of different asset classes, portfolio construction, and risk management. They also learn about financial market analysis and the impact of political, economic and social factors on Investment decisions.
These skills can easily be transferred to careers in other business contexts including real estate law, Investment management, and economics. In addition, the program offers a Certificate of Advanced Marketing in Investment Management, which is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to become a successful financial advisor or portfolio manager.
Tuition is not the only cost to consider for MBA programs. You also have to factor in administration fees, textbooks, transportation expenses, and other miscellaneous expenses. Most MBA programs also require students to complete a substantial amount of coursework, which may require additional time and effort. Fortunately, the online format of the MBA in Investment Management allows students to complete their degree at their own pace and from the comfort of their own home.
EDHEC pivoted to online education and closed its doors for the first time in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The school’s MBA in Investment Management is offered in both online and on-campus formats, and is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to become successful asset managers. The program covers topics such as derivatives, portfolio optimization, and portfolio management.
We launched a research center in asset management, EDHEC-risk Institute, to help students develop a better understanding of the complexities of financial markets. The institute brings together academics and practitioners from all over the world to share their knowledge and insights on Investment management best practices.
