Finance is, at heart, a problem-solving discipline.
The strategies and techniques that are employed utilize accounting and economic information to derive optimum benefits from the investment of monetary capital in the production of goods, the delivery of services, and the financial health of the individual or the firm. These educational requirements demand major commitment from students. First, students must be willing to devote considerable time and effort outside of class in meeting course requirements. Second, students must be motivated to work independently and accept responsibility of self-education. It is impossible with the framework of the curriculum to cover all material relevant to a career in finance.
