Inherent to finance is a need to have a keen mind and critical thinking ability. The Bachelor of Science degree in business administration is proof that those who enter Drexel’s Finance program have not only these key attributes but will have obtained an understanding of the concepts, principles, procedures and analytical techniques that allow them to effectively contribute to the workforce. They will also spend time developing and applying skills for decision-making, both financial and otherwise, within a business environment.

Students electing to pursue a career in finance have a variety of options available to them.
