Introduction
BECOME AN EXPERT OF FINANCIAL RISK AND REWARD
With a career in finance, you’ll help make the best decisions about raising and using resources under risk. In this role you will influence almost every facet of your organization, whether you work for a bank or other financial intermediary, a consulting firm, a public or private corporation, a governmental organization or a not-for-profit.
The required courses in our finance curriculum provide a strong foundation that will prepare you for all categories of finance careers including investment management, corporate finance and financial services.
