Career Opportunities

Students choosing the Finance concentration are prepared for careers in banking, insurance, investments, and other financial services. Their background is broad enough to allow them to enter most other areas of corporate and business activities, and many go on to graduate school. The Operations Management concentration is the area of business which is involved with the actual management of production, inventory control, product design, materials handling, quality assurance, and transportation. It is concerned with high tech management and pro-ductivity. The demand for qualified people in this field is very great and the variety of careers provide students with many options and employment opportunities.
