The fact that one of the professors teaching this course is a billionaire and has made his wealth through sovereign bond trades makes it all the more exciting. My favorite course so far has been a course titled, “Sovereign Risk Assessments.” This course teaches us to examine a country’s financial statements and see how risk-prone they are. Such events, and running along the Hudson at sunrise, are experiences that I could not have obtained elsewhere. to understand the various roles these institutions play in the economy. Almost every weekend, I have found myself in an event connecting with people from firms like JPMorgan, HSBC, etc. Being in New York City allows me to leverage the finance and banking industry to the fullest, given the proximity of the campus to Wall Street. It has been a lot more exciting than I thought it would be. What is it like going to business school in New York City?
I also like the fact that every lecture I’ve had so far has had real-life application. I eagerly look forward to attending the lectures of my courses as the amount of learning that happens within a three-hour slot is tremendous. What has been your favorite part of the MS experience so far? I wanted my master’s degree to open up as many opportunities as possible, and choosing Columbia aligned perfectly with that goal. I chose Columbia for a variety of reasons that include, but are not limited to, its brand value, the location, and the faculty. I knew I wanted to be formally trained in the field of finance and decided to pursue a master’s degree in business school. I enrolled in a corporate finance course during my undergraduate years, and I was fascinated in learning about how money is put to work in a business environment.
However, since finance is not offered as an undergraduate major in India, I decided to study economics to learn about the big picture, and thought it would be useful as a foundation to studying finance later on. What brought you to business school? Why did you choose Columbia?įrom my school days, I have always been interested in finance and markets.
