The Financial Management concentration has been designed for people who are adept at working with numbers and wish to develop expertise in analyzing the financial dimensions of business decisions. The courses in this concentration provide students with the analytical concepts and diagnostic skills they need to participate in high-level strategic sessions with top management. Through participation in hands-on projects, students learn how to apply these financial skills to real-world problems.
The Financial Management concentration prepares students for a wide variety of careers in domestic and global enterprises, both for-profit and non-profit. Graduates may wish to apply their knowledge of advanced financial tools to careers directly in the field of financial management by working for chief financial officers or vice presidents of finance. Careers in business consulting areas such as strategic financial planning or in allied fields that draw on financial analysis, such as process re-engineering, are also a possibility. Depending upon prior business experience, graduates may obtain top financial officer positions. A background in financial management can be a strong asset for eventually becoming the head of a domestic or global enterprise.
