Gary W. Rollins College of Business
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration: Finance
Where does a company get the money to launch a new product? How do investors decide which stocks to buy and when to sell? What happens to your savings when interest rates change? Finance answers these questions, and a whole lot more.
Why choose a finance degree at RCOB?
A Finance degree at UTC teaches you how money moves — through businesses, markets, banks and personal portfolios. You'll learn to analyze investment opportunities, evaluate financial risk, understand securities markets and make the kind of decisions that keep companies healthy and growing.
Choose the track that fits where you want to go: Business Finance if you're drawn to corporate financial strategy, banking or working inside a company, or Investments if you're more interested in markets, portfolio management and the world of investing.
Either way, you'll graduate with skills that are in demand anywhere money matters — which is pretty much everywhere.
