FinanceLet’s face it, you love money. You think about it,

plan for it, spend it, save it, and manage it. You

are good with your money and would be good

with other people’s money. Have you consid-

ered a career in finance?

A finance professional must be skilled at

assessing how individuals and organizations

acquire, allocate, and use money—factoring in

the risks and rewards of each specific enterprise.

Whether you choose banking, securities,

insurance, or a similar field, the finance program

at the College of Business will enable you to

launch your career in institutional finance.

For example, if you enjoy working with

people and want to work on challenging

assignments, you might be cut out to become a

financial manager. Or you may enjoy working in

international banking operations or consumer

lending. You may work in the securities industry

as a stock and bond broker, security analyst, or

portfolio manager. Many finance professionals

work for government agencies, handling their

revenue and expenditure programs.

Advances in computer technology have made

finance more rigorous and analytical than ever

before. Today, in addition to developing skills in

finance and accounting, you must be knowledge-

able about statistical and quantitative methods,

systems analysis, and computer applications. At

the College of Business, you can acquire the

precise training required to excel in these areas.

Participating in finance-specific experiential

activities takes your learning outside the

classroom and into the real world. The Finance

Club hosts a variety of functions that give you

opportunities to meet potential employers.

The Investment Club invites you to become an

investor in the equity markets. You’ll come away

with more job prospects and a better under-

standing of what it takes to excel as a finance

professional.

Go forth and prosper.
