The Finance Option allows students acquire knowledge about how firms make financial decisions and how these decisions affect individual organizations and society as a whole. Students also learn how firms acquire and allocate funds; how financial markets operate and the role these markets play in economic welfare. The study of finance includes the use of models to develop analytical approaches to problems. Students are trained to take positions in financial institutions such as commercial and investment banks, in finance departments of major corporations or with consulting firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students wanting to declare the Finance Option are required to have taken B BUS 350 with a minimum GPA of 3.0. Students may apply for a waiver of this minimum GPA requirement if they earn a minimum GPA of 3.0 across all other Finance Option required courses. Students must have completed BBUS 350 \u2013 Business Finance, to declare the Finance concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
