Finance
“Too many people do not understand how the economy functions or how to manage their own money, and I see this as an amazing opportunity to help others invest in their futures.”
You should major in finance if:
- You love working with numbers and money.
- You’re a forward-thinking problem-solver, and you like managing projects and organizations.
- You want to help people reach their goals and enjoy life.
Learn how to manage finances for individuals, corporations, or banks with your Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in finance. Our classes cover strategic financial management, insurance and risk management, investments, and securities analysis.
