A finance degree will prepare you to guide personal clients, corporations, government agencies and other types of firms through financial struggles and uncertainty but also with short-term and long-term planning responsibilities. Our finance majors complete a balance of theoretical and practical courses in investments, corporate finance, personal financial planning, financial institutions and banking, and real estate finance. 

One of the hallmarks of our program is the opportunity for experiential learning through extra-curricular activities, internships, Corporate Executive Speech Series, and our ZIPD Annual Business Conference.

In Denmark I was part of the Business and Social Sciences faculty. I took all business classes there, including international finance, which I thought was amazing I could take it internationally.
