Question: How many years does it take to be an analyst in a investment bank? Hello Sean! That’s a simple question with a not-so-simple answer as there are a lot of factors involved. First – different banks will have different hiring practices. Second – your work experience, academic experience, and aptitude will impact the qualifications required for the specific position. If you hope to be an analyst in an investment bank, I would strongly suggest that you meet with the faculty in the Accounting & Finance department to plan your course of study and discuss your plans for internships and experiential education in order to get a solid start. You should start by meeting with Dr. J.K. Yun (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)).

First name: Joel Question: Dean Boronico, I am a marketing major in the SOM. I hope to become a marketing account executive upon graduation from NYIT. In the week of Oct 1-5, you gave me and 19 other students the opportunity to go the NYC for Advertising Week, free of charge. I truly cannot thank you enough! I was able to meet marketing executive of major companies and I believe the networking event will lead to a summer internship. Thanks again! Student Marketer, Joel Mercedes Joel, that's wonderful news! I think it's important to provide students with these opportunities and other Student Advancement initiative and when students have experiences like the one you had at Advertising Week, it's worth all the effort!

First name: Sean

Question: What courses should I take in order for I to be an investment banker. Should I major in finance if I want to be an investment banker? Is accounting an important course related to investment banking? Sean, I believe you’re on the right track! I would definitely recommend that you study finance if you want to become an investment banker. Accounting is indeed important in the study of finance and you will see that the finance concentration in our BSBA program includes a few accounting courses such as Managerial Accounting and Financial Statement Analysis. Good luck! http://www.nyit.edu/management/undergraduate/business_admin/finance/

Monica Sawant - Hello Sir,

Hello Sir, I would like to bring to your notice that for MBA degree hardly 15%of the courses are offered in Summer 2012.NYIT has more of international students so students plan their courses and vacations in much advance and they look forward to completing their studies at the earliest and go back to their home country.So the summer schedule should be out well in advance so that students can plan ahead of time. Also,there are hardly any major core courses like Finance,Marketing,Accounting available.Electives too are offered only in Marketing but none in Finance,MIS and Accounting. I and many of my classmates are disappointed with this as we are wasting time in the summer as we are not able to register for more then 1 course.As NYIT has taken this step to enable a 2 way communication I will be happy if our voices are heard and if you could start a few more courses in MBA curriculum at the MA campus for this summer 2012.Thanking you in Anticipation! Of course we have no objection to offering full mix of courses in the summer. I would suggest that you talk to Dr. Afxientiou and Dr. Murdy to discuss your concerns and we can help to address this need.
