FINANCE
Course Descriptions | Factsheet | Curriculum Map
Finance deals with how individuals and businesses make decisions with regard to spending and investment in an environment with scarce economic resources. Finance professionals must have a solid academic background that prepares them to make these types of decisions. The finance program at Morehead State University offers a curriculum designed to prepare students to meet these challenges by helping them acquire knowledge of fundamental finance concepts and develop sound analytical and decision-making skills.
