Finance Overview
Finance is the science of making monetary decisions. It uses theory, quantitative methods, data, and specialized knowledge of financial products, processes and markets to facilitate the decision process. Good financial decisions are critical to individuals, firms, and governments in achieving their goals.
The finance curriculum includes an elective, introductory course, Fin 201: Money Management and Personal Finance, open to all university students. It teaches students skills to manage their personal affairs and introduces them to the concepts and tools of the world of finance.
All business students must complete the core finance course, Fin 301: Corporate Finance, which is a formal introduction to business investment, financing, and money management. Students who enjoy Fin 301 often decide to major in finance and embark on a financial career upon graduation.
Mission & Vision
The objective of the finance major is to provide our students with a competitive edge in their professional financial and managerial careers. Our majors are prepared upon graduation, to apply critical thinking and problem solving skills, either individually or in teams, in order to creatively and ethically solve problems in a global marketplace.
