The MBA with a major in finance (FIN) prepares the student for a broad range of careers in financial management and analysis. Requirements for the major are subject to change and typically involve additional course choices. You are encouraged to take advantage of these changes, but major courses that you completed previously will be honored. (For a discussion of the Executive MS in Finance)
