Finance is the function of managing money. Individuals, corporations, governments, and not-for-profit organizations regularly face financial decisions. There is an enduring need for the skills financial managers have to offer. The finance program is committed to offering a high quality baccalaureate program in finance with concentrations in financial management and financial planning. The concentrations in finance provide students with not only a broad general educational background but also a thorough professional education in finance. The primary mission of the finance group is teaching and instruction, which is supported by faculty involvement in basic and applied research as well as research that supports the teaching mission. The financial management concentration requires 73 hours of professional and elective courses and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. No minor or second major is required or prohibited. The Financial Management concentration deals with the acquisition and use of funds to maximize the value of the firm. Financial managers make decisions about alternative sources and uses of funds. Proper financial management within the firm will help the business to provide better products at reasonable prices to its customers and greater returns to the investors who supply the capital needed to form and then operate the business.
