Academic Affairs
The importance of finance for organizations today cannot be underestimated. The ability to understand the markets and how businesses raise and invest capital is highly looked upon among businesses and organizations. Finance is a very broad degree program covering such diverse topics as corporate finance, insurance and risk management, estate planning, investment and money, and banking and financial institutions. Organizations need individuals with the knowledge to calculate contemporary financial measures of performance and risk, as well as the ability to explain how the financial services component industries interact with each other. Graduates from this program will have the skills and experience to compete effectively for entry level employment positions, such as financial analysts, personal financial advisers, actuaries and other positions in securities, commodities, and financial services.
Program outcomes for graduates:
• describe the dimensions of performance and risk relevant to financial services companies
• assess consumer financial needs and the mechanisms available for fulfilling these needs
