Minor in Finance

A minor in finance will allow for diverse career choices, exemplified by the careers of our finance graduates in credit management, real estate, international banking, financial advising and consulting, bank examination, loan processing, and insurance underwriting. Career choices are also abundant in the not- for-profit sector, such as education, health care, and government service agencies. Finance careers reflect a love for solving puzzles and strong analytical skills.

The integrative nature of the Tabor School’s Finance Program helps ensure that graduates’ analytical skills will continue to be successfully applied as changes alter the business environment, including recent e-business innovations.
