The Bachelor of Science in Finance program equally emphasizes corporate finance and financial economics. This dual focus ensures students develop comprehensive expertise in both disciplines.
The field of finance examines how financial markets function and how to evaluate various financial instruments, including stocks, bonds, foreign currencies, and interest rate markets.

Students will acquire specialized understanding of:
Monetary and financial frameworks
Security and investment evaluation
Institutional financial markets

Statistical methods
