If you have always wanted to be a Chief Financial Officer, a Financial Planner, an Industrial Broker or Investment Counselor, a degree in Finance will pave the way.
Finance is alternatively defined as both the "art and science of managing money" and the "processes by which money is transferred among businesses, individuals, and governments." An understanding of finance not only prepares students for a variety of interesting and rewarding careers, but also equips them to make better decisions as investors throughout their lives. Virtually every business decision has financial implications and determining whether a particular decision will likely create value or destroy it is the underlying principle of the finance discipline.
Finance graduates are sought to fill a variety of positions that include (among others):
- Financial Analyst, Retail Bank Manager, Cash Manager, Trust Officer, Credit Analyst, Financial Planner, Loan Officer, Real Estate Appraiser, Stockbroker, Insurance Agent, Portfolio Manager, Underwriter, Mortgage Banker, Pension Fund Manager
