The undergraduate curriculum in Finance, Insurance, and Business Law provides training and specialization in all aspects of raising and allocating financial capital. Finance is a specialty area that deals with the allocation of resources on the corporate, institutional, and personal levels.
Financial management encompasses the sources and uses of funds in all sectors of the economy.
The program culminates with case-oriented course work that will let students apply knowledge to realistic situations. The curriculum requires students to take courses in each of these areas to provide a strong, broad-based foundation. In addition, students take elective courses in finance and accounting, allowing them to fulfill the requirements of a General Finance track or special tracks in the areas of Financial Accounting and Financial Risk Management. The curriculum offers courses in finance, insurance, and business law, but a major only in finance. Many students contemplating legal careers elect to take courses in law beyond those required by the curriculum, and the department provides pre-law advising to interested students.
