Programme overview

The Finance BBA provides foundational business instruction together with focused finance courses to build skills in valuation, capital budgeting, portfolio management and financial statement analysis. The curriculum balances theory and applied practice so graduates can interpret financial data, support managerial decisions and communicate financial recommendations.

What you'll study

Students take core business courses in accounting, management, economics and marketing alongside finance-specific coursework. Typical subject areas include:

• Principles of corporate finance and financial management
• Investment analysis and portfolio theory
• Financial institutions and markets
• Intermediate and advanced financial statement analysis
• Risk management and insurance or derivatives basics
• Quantitative methods for finance, such as statistics and spreadsheet modeling

Entry requirements

Admission to the BBA in Finance normally requires a secondary school diploma or equivalent and submission of transcripts. Applicants should demonstrate competency in mathematics and English; transfer students present college transcripts for course equivalency. Programs may also counsel incoming students about foundational business or math courses if needed.

Career prospects

Graduates commonly move into roles such as financial analyst, credit analyst, investment associate, banking officer, corporate finance assistant or wealth management paraprofessional. The degree provides a platform for professional certifications (for example, CFA or CFP pathways) or for further study in business, finance or related fields.

Scholarships & funding angle

Students should explore institutional scholarships for business majors, merit- and need-based aid, and department-specific awards. Internship-funded experiences, employer tuition assistance for work-study and external scholarships from professional associations can also offset costs; consult the university financial aid and the business school for guidance on application processes and eligibility.
