The field of finance is broad and dynamic. The lives of each of us and every organization are directly affected by some facet of finance. There are many areas of study and career opportunities in the financial field. The concepts learned in school and the exposure to specific applications of analysis are universally applicable to a broad base of business organizations.<\/p>\n

A simple question to ask: What is finance? It can tersely be defined as the art and science of managing money. Looking further, we see the study of finance as being concerned with the process, institutions, markets and financial instruments involved in the transfer of money among individuals, businesses and governments.<\/p>\n

While the dynamic state of finance creates an environment that appears to be complex at times, the other side of the “coin” is that it is always challenging.<\/p>\n

The finance minor offers the student a unique opportunity to encounter both a macro and micro look at the world of financial activity. The student starts out by learning the broader skills needed to analyze and measure the value of financial assets and performance.\u00a0 This is then followed up with the chance to apply these skills in specific pragmatic financial decision-making situations.<\/p>\n
