About Finance (finn) in University of Arkansas

The academic mission of the department of finance is to provide an educational experience that:

• Stimulates student learning through open dialogue and informative discussion both inside and outside the classroom;
• Actively engages students in their own learning through problem-based casework, participation in real-world business activities, and internships in the financial community; and
• Prepares students to successfully meet the rigors of the challenging and diverse career opportunities in finance.

Students who elect to major in finance can choose from one of four concentrations: banking, financial management/investment, risk management, and real estate. This choice should reflect the student’s primary career focus and electives should be used to complement the coursework in the chosen concentration. Careers in finance that are analytically oriented will generally require proficiency in accounting, economics, and quantitative methods. In contrast, careers in finance that are sales or management oriented will generally require marketing and management skills. Finance majors are strongly encouraged to consult with departmental faculty advisers and/or the department chair in developing their curriculum.
