Finance

A demanding program that prepares students to play an important role in the financial industry. Students gain an in-depth knowledge of investments and managerial finance. Many graduates go on to complete a professional designation such as the chartered financial analyst or certified financial planner. The profession is divided into two main fields. Investments deal with managing savings in the economy by transferring them to individuals and corporations in need of capital in exchange for an appropriate return. The other side of the industry is managerial finance. Professionals here arrange needed financing for an organization's daily operations and future growth.
