Finance
Finance is concerned with securing, managing and investing money.
When you study finance, you'll focus on banking procedures, bank accounts, loan, interest credit, trusts, investments, accounting procedures, budget and financing, and security.
Business and economics professors will challenge you to become an experienced and successful professional. To help you meet this challenge, we will work diligently to teach you crucial skills such as writing, research, analysis and application of theory.
Because they're so well prepared, our students go on to employment at leading financial firms, such as JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, PNC Bank and Wells Fargo.
We offer a concentration in finance.
