The study of finance provides students with an understanding of numerous financial theories such as the relation between risk and return, the factors that determine asset values, and strategies for minimizing the risk exposure of both corporations and investors. An understanding of these theories helps students develop the ability to make sound and practical business and personal investment decisions.

The importance of finance in the economy and the functions and purposes of monetary systems, credit, prices, money markets, and financial institutions are stressed throughout the area of emphasis. Students are trained to think logically regarding financial problems and to formulate sound financial decisions, policies, and practices.

We offer a practical approach to the study of finance that combines modern financial management practice with sound and well established finance theory.

Our most gifted students have the opportunity to study for one year at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management (FS) and can earn a dual degree from both UCCS and FS in just four years of intensive study.
