If you have always wanted to be a chief financial officer, financial planner, industrial broker or investment counselor, a finance degree will pave the way.
Finance is alternatively defined as both the "art and science of managing resources including money" and the "processes by which money or funds are transferred among businesses, individuals and governments." A finance degree not only prepares students for a variety of interesting and rewarding careers, but also equips them to make better decisions as investors throughout their personal lives.
Professionals able to assess an organization's financial viability are needed in businesses, governmental agencies and non-profit organizations. Individuals with a finance degree become critical participants not only in day-to-day operations but also in planning strategies to identify future investment project opportunities to leverage financial growth. Finance plays a critical role for both business and individuals. This degree allows students access to a range of employment opportunities from chief financial officer to small business owner to a director position in the banking industry.
