Careers in Finance

Finance careers can be broadly classified into one of 4 groups: personal financial planning, financial institutions management, corporate financial analysis and investments. Drake's program offers students a choice of study from specializations consistent with these classifications as well as an opportunity to joint major in accounting/finance or actuarial science/finance. Graduates are prepared for advanced study in business or finance or to assume responsible, entry-level managerial positions in financial management in business, government and not-for-profit entities as well as in the financial services industry. Furthermore, they possess an excellent foundation for future growth and career development.
