Finance Major
A WORLD CLASS BBA AT CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY
Finance majors are
interested in the dollars and cents of running a business. They like to follow
the daily ups and downs of the financial markets. They have a knack for numbers
and would like to land a job with a salary ranking among the highest of all business graduates.
Finance majors will follow one of
tၼwo career paths: managerial finance or financial services. Managerial finance
requires managing the finance function for businesses in manufacturing and
trade. These industries make and sell consumer and commercial products. The
financial services industry creates and sells intangible financial products or
services. Banking, securities, real estate and insurance are all financial
service industries.
Whichever path you choose, there are many exciting career opportunities
available in finance. Finance majors at Concordia are a part of small classes
that provide personal attention and hands on experience that prepare them for
work in the field. Students participate in research projects that require
complete financial analysis of major corporations. Students also research and
construct a stock portfolio that outperforms the market. Intensive federal income
tax research and writing is another project that will prepare students for work
in the field. We have an active Business and Investment Club which gives
students many added opportunities. Our BBA is accredited by the Association of
Collegiate Business Schools and Programs.
