The department of Finance is known nationally and internationally as a leading Center for Real Estate Research. The department’s strength lies in three areas:

Corporate Finance and Investment

The Finance faculty have been widely recognized outside the university for their scholarly achievements. Recent faculty awards and recognition include:

The department works closely with the region’s financial service
firms and the finance departments of area businesses in placing finance
majors at the BBA and the MBA levels in professional internships and
co-op positions, providing solutions and analytical insights for area
businesses in addition to a depth of experience for the student. Faculty
are also very active in advising finace majors and in the sponsorship
of independent research projects.
The department also encourages finance majors to take and pass the
Chartered Financial Analyst Examinations (CFA). Through the Center
for Real Estate Research, we have recently acquired the CFA training
materials for levels I, II, and III exams for use by our students.
