Major in Finance

Summary

Finance is the study of financial institutions, markets and instruments, their effect on the flow of funds within the economy, and the control of risk. A career in this dynamic field has the potential not only to take you around the world, but also to make a considerable impact on people across the globe.

In the Finance major, you’ll focus on three core areas: corporate finance, financial analysis, and portfolio management. Complementary units in accounting, economics, statistics, computing and actuarial studies allow you to develop a comprehensive understanding of the discipline and its practical applications.
