About Finance Degree in University of Tampa

The rising importance of investments and the growing complexity of financial services has led to greater demand for finance professionals. University of Tampa finance majors learn how to manage money in areas such as investments, corporate finance, international financial management, and financial institutions and markets.

The finance degree program offers instruction in all areas of business through courses in accounting, managerial statistics, computer information systems, economics, marketing and management. This is combined with contemporary studies in managerial finance, investments, financial institutions and international finance.

Finance degree students are prepared for careers in commercial banking, individual and institutional investments, financial services, private industry, and government. UT's Finance sequence is also good preparation for the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) or CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designations.

Students may participate in the Bailey Student Investment Fund. The fund was initiated with a $100,000 donation of capital that is managed by the students taking the Applied Investment Management course (FIN 415). The program also includes the opportunity to become Bloomberg certified.

In addition to the full-time day program, students can earn the Bachelor of Science in Finance part-time at night through UT's Continuing Studies Program.

A Minor in Finance can complement any course of study at UT. Financial management is critical to success, and not only in the corporate environment.
