Mission of Finance Program
The goal of the Finance Program is to prepare students for entry level positions in all areas of finance. The program accomplishes this by offering a broad range of course work, by emphasizing and developing critical skills in students, and by providing students with real work experiences via internships. The finance program offers dual tracks; a general finance track and an international finance track. The general finance track prepares students to excel in any business environment. The international finance track, in addition, provides students with a foundation in international aspects of finance. Designation of the international finance track is indicated on the student's transcript.
