Develop Financial Skills and Methodologies for Business
Webster University’s Bachelor of Science in Finance degree program prepares students to meet the growing demand for finance professionals by imparting crucial knowledge and skills in raising capital, making investments and understanding the financial markets in which businesses operate.
In addition to completing the core business curriculum requirements, students majoring in finance will study the three general areas of finance:
- Corporate Finance
- Investments
- Financial Institutions and Markets
After completion of the finance core, students have choices to tailor their program according to their interests and career goals.
Finance students who want to pursue advanced certification, including the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) or Certified Financial Planner (CFP), can take advanced courses in Investments and Portfolio Management, while others may focus on Entrepreneurial Finance, Capital Budgeting or International Finance.
