Bachelor of Science In Business Administration with a Concentration In Finance

Finance is the study of financial markets, financial institutions, the valuation of financial assets, and the allocation of assets to achieve desired financial goals. Matters pertaining to finance are present in everyday life.

Television commercials advocate the merits of the NYSE and NASDAQ, news reports follow the latest comments of the Federal Reserve Chairman and people have frequent conversations about stock prices.

The field of finance is important to many individuals whether they work in a financial setting or for personal saving and investment programs.

Finance is important because it affects all our lives. The companies that we work for must obtain capital in order to operate.

Financial institutions such as commercial banks and investment banking firms assist companies in obtaining funds. Employees must increasingly save and invest in order to provide for their future needs.

The financial markets allow investors to buy and sell securities, thus enabling workers to meet their investment objectives.

Many investors don't buy stocks and bonds directly. Instead, they rely on a financial intermediary such as a bank or mutual fund to assist with their saving objectives. People also rely on insurance companies to help them manage the financial risks associated with an automobile accident, poor health, or unexpected death.

The Finance academic curriculum is completely integrated with that of the home campus in Saint Louis, Missouri.

The students can transfer freely between the two campuses over the course of their undergraduate degree program.
