Finance

The Finance curriculum consists of two main areas of study - corporate finance and investments. Corporate finance explores which assets a firm should acquire, how to raise funds to purchase them and how to manage acquired assets to maximize the value of the firm. Investments includes how to value stocks, bonds and other financial securities; the theory and practice of portfolio management; and the functioning of the securities markets.

Career opportunities for students with a major in Finance include corporate finance, credit management, financial consulting, investments/investment banking and commercial banking.
