Common career paths for finance majors are in financial management in business, management and nonprofit organizations; commercial and investment banking; and brokerage.

The Business Program for Finance majors has three components:

• The General Foundation (54 credits). Throughout the program students acquire a broad education in the liberal arts and sciences. Through courses in English, communications, international studies, mathematics, computer science, economics and psychology, as well as electives, students build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Within this component, the student will satisfy the University?s general education requirements.
• The Business Core (33 credits). The core business courses provide an understanding of the functional areas common to most businesses: accounting, finance, law, marketing, management, management information systems, production and operations, international business and strategy.
• The Major Fields (15-18 credits). Students acquire advanced knowledge of a major field (accounting, finance, management, or marketing) by taking five courses (six in accounting) beyond the introductory level in a chosen major. Concentrations in International Business, Management of Information Systems, and Entrepreneurship can be elected in addition to a major.
