Finance
Every finance major completes two internships for college
credit, which puts ink on your resume. Sample jobs for finance
majors include financial analyst (corporate or investment),
investment banker, stock broker - and much more. A major in finance
provides a strong foundation for any career in business.
Finance majors learn the art and the science of managing money.
