Advising
Many advisement options are available to students:
Career and Academic Advising is provided within the Department of Finance. Faculty Advisors try to help students decide on appropriate majors, concentrations and areas or emphasis. We also provide information about the nature of work performed by professionals in the field of finance. We advise students in matters of course selection and try to provide advice that will help our students do better in the classroom and be better prepared to enter the world of work in a professional capacity. The list below is designed to give students an idea of the areas of expertise possessed by different faculty members. However, most faculty members can provide advice in all areas.
