Department of Finance
Finance majors build a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of financial management. That’s why we teach the principles of finance, explain how financial techniques can solve some of society’s most important problems, and offer many experiential learning opportunities both on and off campus, to prepare our students for future responsibilities as financial managers. Whatever your career goals, we will work with you to ensure you acquire the skills and experiences to translate your dreams into reality.
Finance Programs
Whether you're set on pursing a degree or just exploring your options, there's much to be gained from a finance degree. Our Finance majors prepare you to work in investment banking, consulting, corporate finance, investment management, investment advisory services, commercial banking, insurance, and real estate fields.
