Finance is the study and practice of decision-making to acquire and manage
real and financial assets for the purpose of creating and maintaining economic
(market) value. Students majoring in finance will be prepared for career
opportunities in corporate financial management, investment analysis and
management, international financial management and insurance. The finance major
is also an excellent preparation for students planning to enter graduate
programs or seeking a professional degree in law, accounting or other
professional programs.
