Overview

APU’s finance major prepares students to make sound financial decisions. The program provides a solid business foundation, covering accounting principles, economics, business law, international business, statistics, and marketing. Later coursework introduces strategic management and organizational behavior. These then serve as a framework for in-depth study of financial concepts, including financial markets, international trade, financial analysis, and risk management.

Students learn practical application of finance theory through case studies and internship opportunities. Finance majors leave APU with the tools they need to be good stewards of personal and corporate financial resources.
