It is, then, only natural that Finance-Accounting has become a heavily attended concentration in Tel Aviv University's M.B.A. program. I n order to survive, Israeli firms must be able to cope with inflation, the volatility of the economy, and the uncertainties of international finance. The Finance-Accounting curriculum is therefore structured to enable its students to meet these responsibilities.
Special emphasis is laid upon understanding the capital market and evaluating financial instruments.
The program offers general courses on money and banking, capital markets, and analysis of financial statements, as well as specialized courses in bank financial policy, credit management and analysis, bank management, and the structure and organization of banking in Israel. In addition, students are required to familiarize themselves with case studies involving financial decisions. Banking courses are taught by faculty members, adjunct lecturers active in Israel's banking industry, and by visiting professors from leading American and European universities. The Association of Banks in Israel contributes to the funding of these courses.
