This is an interdisciplinary master of business, mainly using mathematical tools to build financial market models and solve financial problems. In addition to the professional knowledge of finance, it often includes mathematics, statistics, physics and computer language, so it is often taught jointly by multiple departments, which may be located under the business school, engineering school or mathematics department according to the different professional emphasis. Schools offering financial engineering in engineering colleges include Princeton, Columbia, Cornell and Michigan-Ann Arbor. There are Stanford University, University of Chicago, NYU University, University of Southern California and Georgia Institute of Technology under the Department of Mathematics. Business communication related majors, including marketing communication, integrated marketing communication and communication management. , often located in the school of communication, although it is a business marketing or management related major. Courses include marketing, organizational behavior, consumer behavior, etc. This major is common in media schools of various schools, such as University of Southern California, Purdue University, IIT University and so on.
2. Finance (Master of Finance, Financial Analyst, and the aforementioned financial engineering)
Compared with other liberal arts, engineering and science, the return on capital of financial major is much higher than that of other majors. Finance is a hot major for both international students and American business school students, so the chances of winning the prize are very small. Finance is generally a one-year course with strong practicality.
Financial engineering emphasizes the background of mathematics and computer, and the employment direction is mainly futures and stock index related industries, with high salary but few employment opportunities. It is relatively difficult to apply for a master's degree in finance, but it is theoretical. As far as international students are concerned, the employment situation is not ideal.
In addition, in many American business schools, finance majors only have doctoral degrees or are classified as MBA. For those who just want to apply for a master's degree, there are not many choices. Business schools offering financial engineering include the University of California, Berkeley, and clermont Graduate University. Mathematical finance includes Carnegie Mellon, UW- Madison, Rutgers, etc. , financial analysis including Lehigh, etc. There are also many experts in finance. Better ones are Washington University in St. Louis, UIUC, Boston College, Rochester, Bentley, etc.
3. Accounting (including professional accounting master, professional accounting master or professional accounting master)
Accounting majors are divided into financial accounting, auditing, financial management and international accounting according to students' different emphases. Students mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of accounting, auditing, finance, economy and business administration, and receive basic training in accounting methods and skills. Accounting is the easiest major in the United States to find a job, and the starting salary of graduates is quite high. You don't have to graduate from the accounting department to apply for accounting. You can apply as long as you have read some business-related courses. Some schools separate non-accounting graduates from undergraduate accounting majors and teach them according to different schedules and courses, such as UIUC and UNC. Accounting is a major with very good employment prospects in the United States, especially in some big cities. Schools with better accounting majors include UIUC, UT-Austin, U ofMichigan-Ann Arbor, U of Chicago, UCLA, UNC, etc. In addition, due to the relationship between geographical location and employment, schools such as Bentley, Suffolk and BC are also good choices. In addition to finance and accounting, there are relatively few schools with other majors, and the limitations of choice are relatively large.
4. Humanresources management.
There are two names for HR in the United States: one is labor relations; The second is human resource management; Those majors such as OB (organizational behavior)/OL/OS are very different from HR, and the setting of professional courses is also very different. Industrial relations/human resources focus on industrial relations, collective bargaining, salary and employment management, >
5. Marketing
There are not many schools offering marketing majors, and the top universities are University of Rochester, University of Florida, University of Georgia, Texas A & amp； Master, Bentley College, WPI, Temple University, Denver University, new york University (Stern Business School).
6. Tourism Hotel Management (Hotel Industry Research)
Because it is difficult to find a job in the United States, especially at the management level, there are relatively few people applying for this direction in China. Not all majors are located in business schools. For example, NYU is under the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, and NYU's marketing major is also under this school. 80% of my career is working in a hotel, engaged in revenue management, or starting directly from the grassroots. The better schools in this major are Cornell (the best hotel management course in America), Purdue, NYU, Delaware, MSU and so on. The University of Las Vegas, Nevada is one of the special schools. It is not a very excellent comprehensive university, but due to its special geographical location, the hotel management major is quite good and the alumni network is relatively developed.
7. Logistics (supply chain, logistics)
The curriculum of logistics is generally based on the core elements of logistics such as distribution and transportation. Typical courses include logistics strategy, distribution system design, planning and management of transportation and warehousing, development and use of distribution information system and application software. Among them, the logistics management major offered by business school emphasizes supply chain management, and the courses include supply chain management technology and application, supply chain logistics, strategy and application, strategic procurement and supply chain management, as well as related analytical management technologies and methods, such as simulation technology, statistics, operational research, management accounting, human resource management and the interdisciplinary subjects of law and commerce. But sometimes the logistics major is not necessarily located in the business school. Logistics courses offered by the Department of Civil Engineering include: port planning and management, traffic system analysis, intelligent transportation and vehicle system, traffic management and policy, road network management system, traffic flow theory, geographic information system, etc. Courses offered by the Department of Industrial Engineering include operation planning and control, industrial logistics, inventory system, etc.
Schools offering logistics majors include MIT, Northwest, MSU, Ohio State, Purdue, Wisconsin, Houston and Gatech.
8, Management Information System (management information system)

According to statistics, at present, 80-90% of planning management in the United States is done by computers, and more than 90% of information processing in financial accounting is done by computers; The application of computer in personnel management is close to 100%. Therefore, the employment prospects of MIS graduates in the American job market are quite good.
This subject mainly involves the following professional fields:
Information system: including data communication, database, programming language, client/server calculation, system analysis and design, etc. Management science: including mathematical planning, optimization, operational research, etc. Production and operation management: including decision-making theory and organization theory.
