FINANCE MAJOR
- General Finance
- Corporate Finance
- Investments
- Banking and Financial Institutions
- Federal Contract Management
Finance careers vary widely in today's complex, global economy. Among their many options, finance graduates find careers in banking, investments, corporate finance, and federal contract management. Graduates might help investment clients develop and monitor personal or corporate investment portfolios, manage a bank office and all its personnel, make multi-million dollar loans to corporations, take a private firm public so its stock can be traded on stock exchanges, or manage the budget of a multi-billion dollar federal project. The finance curriculum gives graduates the modern analytic principles of the discipline that prepare them to function in a wide variety of settings.
Students considering the professional certification examinations upon graduation, such as the Certified Cash Manager, Certified in Financial Management, the Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Certified Financial Planner, or Chartered Financial Analyst, may need course work beyond the minimum requirements for the B.S.B.A. degree. Students are encouraged to identify the special requirements early in their academic careers.
The Department of Accounting and Finance offers five finance concentrations for the B.S.B.A. degree in finance: General Finance, Corporate Finance, Investments Banking and Financial Institutions; and Federal Contract Management. The finance major is offered only during the day.
