Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Finance] From University of Alabama

The study of finance is designed to provide insight into financial decision-making by firms; interaction between firms and financial markets; management of financial intermediaries and an understanding of the markets in which they participate; valuation of financial assets such as stocks, bonds and derivatives, and how they are managed in a portfolio; and the determination and behavior of interest rates and rates of return on assets.
