Finance (BS)

Webster University

The field of finance blends economics, accounting and other business disciplines with the goal of making financially sound business decisions. Financial tools and methodologies are of crucial importance for both small and large businesses. Important areas of finance include raising capital, making investments and understanding financial markets.
In addition to completing the core business curriculum requirements, students taking a major in finance will study the areas of finance and accounting: managerial accounting, financial statement analysis, corporate finance, investments and financial markets and institutions. After completion of the finance core, students have choices to tailor their program according to their interests and career outlook. Students desiring to take advanced certification, such as the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) or CFP (Certified Financial Planner), are encouraged to get advice on choosing course options to support their plans. All finance majors will complete the business school's common core capstone course.
