A greater demand for finance professionals has resulted from the increasing roles of corporate financial managers, the rising importance of investments and the growing complexity of financial services. The finance sequence prepares students for successful careers in areas of commercial banking, individual and institutional investments, insurance, private industry and government.

Applied projects bring the real world into the classroom by encouraging student interactions in the management of investment portfolios and corporate financial decisions. The program provides a comprehensive education for entry-level financial officers and general managers. It also is good preparation for CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) candidates.
