Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a Specialization in Finance
An old saying goes, “Money makes the world go ‘round,” but who harnesses that money so it can fuel improvement for individuals, families, companies and nonprofit organizations?
Financial services professionals are in the business of connecting individuals, business, and organizations with resources to achieve their goals. It feels great to be the person who helps others manage money, plan for the future, and build wealth. And to be recognized for doing so, you don’t need to be a math genius or a fortune teller. What you need is a solid business education—with a strong focus on finance—that integrates classwork, group projects, professional networking, and plenty of one-on-one time with professors who’ve been successful in the real world of finance and enjoy guiding you in that direction, too.
That’s the kind of business education you get in the AUM College of Business, and perhaps it explains why AACSB International grants its coveted accreditation to degree programs in the College—an honor enjoyed by only 900 other collegiate institutions.
At AUM’s College of Business, we understand that each student is trying to discover his or her own mission in life, so we give you the tools to shape your own career for your own purposes.
Where might your career mission take you after earning a business degree with a concentration in finance?
But for now, know this. Your journey won’t be all books and lectures. AUM hums with networking events so you’ll get to know professionals in the financial field. The College of Business offers 10 student clubs and organizations, through which you’ll be exposed to professional opportunities and experiences.

Finance majors are inquisitive and enjoy problem solving. They also have a natural ability to relate to people and communicate complex information in a simple way.
Accounting focuses on the day-to-day flow of money for a company or institution. Finance plans and manages assets and liabilities for individuals, families, and/or companies.
Jobs in finance often require desk work, but not all of the time. Team meetings, travel projects, and client consultation require getting out from behind the desk.
