# Corporate Finance

##  Corporate Finance

Corporate finance focuses primarily on financial issues at the firm level, such as how new companies raise capital, how companies decide on a capital structure of equity versus short-term and long-term debt, and the governance structure of firms. Students develop an understanding of the broad financial issues and choices facing firms and how these choices influence performance, valuation, and risk. ###
