About Finance
When it comes to money, timing matters. Spend money before you earn it, and you’ll have to pay interest on a loan. Wait until after you earn it to spend money, and you can earn interest on your savings. This simple fact is a major determinant of stock and bond values, and it drives firms’ decisions on whether to take on new investment projects. The Finance major explores this key relation and its meaning for the stock market and the bond markets, for people saving for retirement, for people borrowing for a house, and for firms trying to expand into new areas of operation. This major will give you finesse in the field of finance!
