Especialización en Finanzas

The finance major provides students with a thorough understanding of the theoretical financial principles and the practical implementation of these principles in business. Students learn how financial markets operate and how to make effective investment and financial decisions for firms and individuals. The major is designed to develop students’ analytical skills and problem-solving abilities. Financial markets are the major conduits through which investments are channeled in the global marketplace, and understanding these markets and how to make investment decisions are crucial for success in business.
