The finance major provides
students with a working understanding of the financial decision-making
process, how financial markets function, and the acquisition and
management of capital. Students may elect course concentrations
in investment analysis and portfolio management, financial institutions
and services, or corporate financial management. Students will be
prepared for a variety of careers in business and in the government
sector with work in areas such as financial analysis, capital budgeting,
banking, mergers and acquisitions, cash management, financial planning,
investment analysis and portfolio management, brokerage, real estate,
and insurance. A major in finance is also excellent preparation
for graduate study in finance, business administration, or corporate
and securities law. |
