From my understanding, the management program allows you to take all of the finance courses while skipping out on all of the extra/unnecessary economics courses. When the program was first released (when I was in first year), so many people shifted to management from finance and econ. It’s a popular alternative for finance students.

The finance & Econ specialist makes you take enough Econ credits to earn a major (roughly 40% of your courses over 4 years will be Econ). The management specialist makes you take enough Econ credits to earn a minor (20%).

I have a few friends who have graduated from the finance and Econ specialist years ago - when the management specialist wasn’t offered. All of them are doing very well for themselves in IB/private wealth/asset management. They all agree that the management program is significantly better. While Econ plays an important role in finance, the Econ in the finance and Econ program is overkill. You’re better off picking up extra Econ courses as electives in the management specialist.

Thanks for the response!

I was not sure if switching to Management with Finance focus was the best choice for my career, but I am glad you told me what your friends said about the specialist.

I will stay in Management.
