Finance is an important field within business administration and management. It focuses on valuation and the optimal allocation of capital.
Advances in modern financial theory and practice make the field exciting and offer many opportunities for a well-prepared student. Furthermore, the field of finance incorporates an international outlook, which is one of the hallmarks of the McLaren School of Management.
The approach to teaching finance at the University of San Francisco emphasizes analytical (quantitative and qualitative) proficiency and the use of “hands-on” applied cases and exercises. The multidimensional nature of the finance as well as the background, diversity and quality of our faculty and students, makes our Finance major an intellectually challenging experience.
