Finance Program Overview
Mission
We are a community of scholars and practitioners committed to superior undergraduate and graduate business programs accredited by AACSB International. We emphasize excellence in teaching, promote intellectual exchange and development, and advocate continuous learning reflecting a dynamic global environment. Our services deliver value to our students, the university, business disciplines, and society.
Faculty
The finance faculty are of the philosophy that students "learn by doing." Therefore, we provide students with many opportunities to apply the theories they learn in the classroom. We do this by incorporating real-world case studies, trading simulations, management simulations and project assignments into our courses.
Student Organizations
Students gain hands-on experience, meet new friends, and share some fun outside the classroom through participation in student organizations. We encourage students to actively participate in student organizations as an excellent way to develop leadership skills and engage in experiential learning. The finance department offers three student organizations, Financial Management Association (FMA), Coyote Investment Club (CIC) and Coyote Capital Management (CCM), that afford members the opportunity to experience the finance profession as a student at USD.
