Study in finance requires careful attention to detail since finance blends concepts from accounting, economics, and statistics into the coursework.  For those who enjoy the challenge of analytical work and the responsibility of managing financial resources, finance may be the major to select.

Students enrolled in this program take basic coursework in the functional areas of business:  accounting, economics, management, marketing, information science, and finance.  The elective courses chosen from finance provide the student with the concentration necessary to understand the field. In-depth study in finance includes the study of corporate finance, investments and portfolio management, financial markets and institutions, and personal financial management.  Students will also benefit from the required professional internship experience in finance.
