FINANCE
Program Mission
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Finance curriculum prepares students for careers in corporate finance, investments, commercial and investment banking, international finance, government finance, insurance, and real estate. The study of finance provides students with both the theoretical background and the analytical tools required to make effective, value creating business decisions. As businesses operate in increasingly competitive global environments, and as individuals and institutions seek investments on a global scale, the core fundamental principles of finance and their applications become of greater value and importance.
