Corporate Finance and Valuation Methods

Where Capital Decisions Are Made

An entry point to how three interconnected ideas shape a firm: how projects are analyzed, how capital is budgeted, and how firms decide their optimal mix of debt and equity. Rather than abstraction, the focus is on the principles that determine what a company is worth and why different capital structures emerge.

Designed for students building finance fundamentals, this course centers on the mechanics beneath every major corporate decision—why some projects get funded while others don't, and how that choice cascades through a firm's structure and strategy. Understand the logic firms use to maximize value.
