Finance, minor in

The minor in finance is designed to provide students from diverse disciplines with a foundational understanding of financial principles and practices. This minor will equip students with essential skills in financial analysis, investment strategies and corporate finance, preparing them to make informed financial decisions in both personal and professional contexts. By integrating core finance concepts with practical applications, the minor aims to enhance students' marketability and broaden their career opportunities across various industries.

For students majoring in other disciplines, a minor in finance can be particularly beneficial by complementing their primary field of study with financial acumen. Business students can gain deeper insights into corporate finance, while engineering and science majors can apply financial analysis to project management and entrepreneurship. Liberal arts majors can enhance their understanding of financial literacy, making them more competitive in roles that require budget management and strategic planning. Ultimately, the finance minor provides versatile skills that are valuable across a wide range of professions.

Finance majors pursuing a BS Finance degree are not eligible to complete this minor.
