Fortify your future with a Finance degree!
Determine if a degree in Finance, Insurance or Real Estate is right for you!
Do you have an aptitude for math and thrive in a fast-paced, high-risk/high-reward environment? Are you inquisitive, outgoing and able to express your ideas clearly? If so, you should consider a degree in finance. And if you are interested in real estate enterprises – residential or commercial – then this is the right choice for you.
In addition to gaining a strong business acumen, you’ll learn how to creatively solve problems using a numbers-driven approach. This degree will equip you with the solid business foundation that can be applied to industry; yet it will allow you to specialize your skills in order to distinguish you from other business majors.
