Finance professionals guide businesses and individuals in their investment decisions. They produce financial reports, find the funding necessary to advance corporate initiatives, and strategize for the long-term success of the organization.

As an Andrews University finance student, you will graduate well-prepared to be an active participant in the world of finance. Our curriculum is rigorous but rewarding and provides a solid educational foundation for future finance professionals. Two of our undergraduate finance electives, Portfolio Theory and Futures & Options Markets, are more commonly seen in graduate-level programs across the country, so our graduates already have a leg-up in applying for graduate programs or securing valuable employment.

All of our courses, from International Financial Management to Financial Planning, will teach you advanced skills for analyzing and interpreting financial data and making sound financial decisions. In Futures & Options Markets, you will learn how to use DerivaGem, a sophisticated finance software which calculates the formula value of options, derivatives, implied volatilities and many other complex financial equations. Our Investments course will have you managing your own simulated portfolio, giving you the opportunity to select a group of stocks, make trades, and try to beat the market on a risk adjusted basis.

Join our chapter of the Financial Management Association to network with finance professionals and launch projects that make a difference in the community. Pair your classroom knowledge with real world experience by participating in a finance internship to build your resume while you study. Then graduate from Andrews University ready to start a rewarding career right away as a financial analyst, manager or planner. Or you may also choose to obtain one or more financial certifications that will enable you to further specialize and pursue your individual interests in the field of finance.
