Finance
Do you want to maximize wealth for a company or personal investor? Then finance is the major for you.
A finance career focuses on adding value utilizing proper consideration of the risk-return relationship, integrating financial skills with concepts from economics and accounting to make wealth-enhancing decisions. Investment specialists evaluate and select securities, manage investment portfolios and raise capital to finance business, government and private needs. Financial officers manage investments, oversee forecasting and budgeting, raise and allocate funds, perform cost analysis and formulate financial and credit operating policies.
