Guidelines for Private Equity Individualized Major (Revised Spring 2007)
Students who want to pursue an “individualized” major in Private Equity, Venture Capital, or Buyouts must complete one of the two tracks given below. No applications for majors with these (or related) titles will be approved outside this framework. Majors may not mix and match between the tracks but must complete either all of Track 1 or all of Track 2. "Required" courses may not be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. Electives may be taken on a Pass/Fail basis.
Completion of either track entitles (but does not require) the use of “Private Equity” in the title of the major; completion of Track 1 entitles (but does not require) the use of “Venture Capital” in the major title; completion of Track 2 entitles (but does not require) the use of “Buyouts” in the major title. For example, a student completing Track 1 could label their individualized major as “Private Equity”, “Private Equity: Venture Capital”, or “Venture Capital”. Courses marked with an * are 0.5 cu. All other courses are 1 cu.
