Department Chair: Dr. Gary Tripp
Total Credits: 123
The finance/economics program has a dual mission: to
examine the behavior of the economy and its relationship to
business and government and to study the funding and
investment needs of corporations, individuals and institutions.
The primary goal of the program is to establish a solid
foundation in the applied and theoretical areas of international
and domestic finance, business and economics.
Economics/finance majors develop the analytical and quantitative
skills needed for corporate and individual financial
management and economic modeling and forecasting.
Students who choose to major in the economics/finance program
will be prepared for careers in industry, financial
organizations and government. Many go on to graduate
school to continue their studies in economics, finance, other
business-related disciplines or law.
