FINANCE CONCENTRATION (FIN) Five courses (15 credits)

Overview The finance concentration offers courses in corporate finance, investment and portfolio management, financial institutions and markets, and financial policy. The curriculum has been carefully designed to reflect the essential knowledge and skills necessary for success in the exciting and challenging field of finance.
   
Career Paths There are numerous career opportunities in finance in industrial and service companies, financial institutions and governmental units and agencies. Graduates of the program have found employment as financial analysts, controllers, insurance adjusters, investment bankers, portfolio managers, brokers, loan officers, and more.
