Finance
About the Program
Welcome to the Department of Economics, Finance, and Marketing, part of the College of Business at Tennessee Technological University. Our goal is to provide our students with an innovative learning experience that teaches them the necessary analytical and critical thinking skills to succeed in today’s competitive environment.
During the first two years, students take several core classes that build the foundation of their training, and in the last two years students immerse themselves in classes that allow them to specialize in the field of their choice. These classes are taught on the beautiful Tennessee Tech campus and online.
Our B.S.B.A in Finance offers classes on Investments, Real Estate, Multinational Finance, and Banking. Students who have an interest in Banking can also receive our Banking Certificate, which requires them to take classes in Commercial Banking and Money and Banking. For students interested in Investments, we also offer an Investment Challenge class that allows students to manage a real portfolio and have a very hands-on experience in this area.
Our graduates have had successful careers in industry, government, and academia. Some of the companies they have worked for are: Fidelity Investments, Bank of America Private Bank, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, First National Bank of Tennessee, Pepsico, Xerox, and IBM.
Sincerely,
Dr. Wesley Pech, Department Chair
