Finance

The finance program is designed to give students a broad exposure to corporate finance, investments, and financial markets and services. Our students develop the analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills to address both personal and business financial questions. Finance is both the science and art of managing money. As a science, modern finance is based in scientific inquiry, statistics, and mathematics. However, there are also many non-quantitative variables that matter including individuals’ – and sometimes entire markets’ – behavior patterns. This is where the art of managing money comes into play.
