Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance

A Great Investment: You have to know money to make money.

Truth is, it’s not all about the money. The purpose of a degree in finance is to develop an understanding of financial management and operations. So, as a graduate, you’ll not only be great at sticking to a budget, but also enjoy the opportunity for a lucrative and challenging career.

In business, finance professionals address questions like: What’s the best way for our firm to invest? Should our firm borrow more money—or should we sell shares of common stock? On a personal level, finance addresses questions like: How should I invest my savings? How risky is the stock market compared to the bond market? Our finance classes prepare you to grapple with these questions, and profit from the answers!

As a student, you will gain real-world experience in the Willie Davis Finance & Investment Laboratory – a collaborative space with LED Tickers, trading floor simulations and a student managed investment fund that allows you to trade in real-time. You will also have access to internships and an Advisory Board that will provide mentorships and guidance from some of the best minds in the business.
