On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Finance
and Real Estate Department, I would like to welcome you. The department
offers the Bachelors of Business Administration with a concentration in
Finance-Real Estate. Within this, the student has two options, the
Finance Option and the Real Estate Option. Students interested in the
MBA program will want to go to the MBA section.
Finance Option. The finance function encompasses the financial management
of firms and the management of investments. Real Estate embraces the
development, financing, management, and marketing of land resources.
In financial management, an analysis is made of such key issues as
capital budgeting and the financing issues of the firm. The program
prepares students to identify relevant problems and to make and defend
reasoned decisions in financial planning, financial control, and
financial policy.
The study of financial institutions and markets develops an
understanding of the strategy and policy of financial institutions. The
key internal aspects of firms are examined as well as their responses to
changing conditions in the money and capital markets.
Investment management focuses on the theoretical and practical assets of
investment in corporate securities, mutual funds, and other investment
media that are relevant for individual investors and their institutional
counterparts. Emphasis is placed on the role of the computer in the
decision-making process. Analytical tools are developed to evaluate
investment alternatives and to construct a portfolio of assets to meet
investment objectives.
Finance students find initial employment opportunities as financial
analysts, financial planning trainees, credit analysts, security
analysts, loan analysts, and as assistants to senior finance officers.
Positions may be found in the finance departments of business firms,
governmental agencies, and in financial institutions such as savings
institutions, finance companies, commercial banks, investment banks,
stock brokerages, and investment departments of insurance and real
estate companies.
Real Estate Option. Real estate embraces the development, financing,
management and marketing of land resources. The utilization and
disposition of these resources by developers, and real estate financiers
is analyzed.
College graduates are in great demand for professional services in
property development, brokerage, appraising, property management,
mortgage lending, and teaching and research in real estate related
areas. Governmental activities in housing, planning, and home financing
present other career opportunities.
The department's faculty is proud of its diversity in these areas of
Finance and Real Estate. This enables a student to concentrate on any
aspect of these fields that he/she is interested in. This site will
provide information on the program, the faculty, the department, and
research links that are helpful to all students of Finance and Real
Estate. For further information, please contact the department. |
