The University of Rochester is located in Rochester, New York. Rochester offers one of the finest academic programs in finance and accounting the United States. It is easily the equal of most of the elite schools in these fields and has trained many of the professors at the elite/ultra elite schools. It has an impressive list of recruiters including some of the best recognized firms such as GS, ML, LB, and JPM.
Rochester, New York is the 50th largest economic area in the US. Nearby Buffalo is the 53rd largest economic area.
However, Rochester seems to suffer from some employment issues. The percentage employed at graduation has generally been unimpressive even when the economy is booming. Nonetheless, impressive jobs appear to be available to high performers.
Rochester has long seemed to be on the verge of breaking out into the higher clusters but for a variety of reasons has yet to do so. For those students looking for an outstanding academic school at a relatively cheap "admissions price" Rochester remains an excellent opportunity.
Note that Rochester admits students for both September and January.
Academic Year: Quarter
The first quarter is prescribed.
Electives begin in the second quarter.
There are 14 concentrations available including Corporate Accounting and Finance.
"Finance (FIN)
(5 courses)
The Simon School is best known for its research and scholarship in the area of finance. This concentration provides students with state-of-the-art techniques for financial analysis. Students learn to formulate and solve important corporate-finance problems and to obtain information from the many databases on financial markets."

once again another pretty informative review, thanx hjort.
i got their brochure and app in the mail a few weeks ago , didnt have time to open it , read some today - man, this school is impressive. i was surprised that it wasnt ranked in the top 10. a few months ago i didnt even know about this school, but i did some reasearch and i am seriously thinking about applying there. this reveiw will be a great tool for anyone considering applying to rochester.
and finally some trivia - rochester, ny is the home of 2 of the oldest american blue-chip companies - eastman kodak and xerox.

The Simon School of Business is incredibly strong in these areas. The relatively new Dean, Mark Zupan, is really making plans for this school. It has an impressive research (or intellectual capital) score from BusinessWeek - 18.
The Simon school also ranks quite high on the international rankings like the Financial Times of London, so if you want to go international finance this is the way to go.
Dean Zupan is also increasing the value of the alumni networks.
From what I was told by a recruiter the COL is also fairly low compared to New York City.
If you are interested in Finance this is the way to go.
I am applying in this January for next year.
