Finance is a powerful and influential field which can be defined as the
art and science of managing money. Virtually all individuals and
organizations earn or raise money and spend or invest money. Finance
is concerned with the process, institutions, markets and instruments involved
in the transfer of money among and between individuals, businesses, and
governments. The study of Finance provides a consistent framework
for financial decision-making by individuals, small business firms, financial
institutions, and large corporations. It is an essential business function
and all business students should have at least an exposure to the issues.
If you are interested in working in the stock market, or in the
banking and financial sector as an analyst for industry and government, you
should find the study of finance to be interesting and rewarding.
The
B.S. in Finance program gives students a broad base and understanding of
the principles that govern financial institutions and markets, and the strategies
employed.
The program also develops
students’ professional competence as financial executives and prepares them
for careers in corporate finance, investment banking, international finance,
security analysis, brokerage and securities trading, and portfolio management.
Recent
LIU-Brooklyn graduates are working at the NYSE, Quick & Reilly, Goldman
Sachs and other prominent financial institutions.
Recommended Course of Studies
(A student's
program of study may be lengthened to the extent that the
student is placed in proficiency mathematics courses and
the English Department Writing Program.)
