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.
