Finance

Boler finance graduates apply their tools, training and judgement in a variety of situations and professions. As a corporate finance professional, you deal with a company’s day-to-day financial operations and short- and long-term business goals. As an investment banker, you focus on advising corporate clients on financial decisions, raising capital through both public and private placements and conducting merger and acquisition deals. Responsibilities include brokerage services, financial analysis, financial planning, underwriting, venture capital, and portfolio management.

You might also work for a private equity firm or governmental organization, such as the US Federal Reserve. Boler finance students are actively sought by corporate recruiters and have become high-ranking financial officers of prominent and successful companies or have achieved important positions in banks and governmental agencies.

Finance applies fundamentals from economics, accounting, and mathematics to financial decision making. Whether you study corporate finance, international finance, investment, or financial institutions, your close examination of financial theory will be challenged by real-world practice; concepts of ethical behavior will move from the abstract to the concrete.

At the Boler College of Business, finance majors emerge well-rounded, with a firm grounding in the liberal arts, sciences, and communications. Our students learn to balance financial advantage seeking with a deep sense of personal and professional integrity. You will graduate understanding that high ethical principles and professional standards, more than rules and regulations, generate sustainable outcomes and lasting value.
