OVERVIEW
The Business Administration - Finance program provides students with practical and hands-on experience in the field of finance. In this program, students become familiarized with the elements of sound financial management. There are also opportunities for specialized study for those who aspire to supervisory, general management and eventually executive positions in financial institutions or other business firms. Graduates will also have a solid skill set in the area of financial planning and wealth management. The program’s course requirements are flexible, so students can matriculate from a general program with financial study at its core or from a specialized program with either banking, financial planning, credit management or people management at its core.
This program is recommended for those who intend to pursue wealth management careers in a wide range of private and public enterprises or for those wishing to enter the growing financial planning industry.
FLEXIBLE COURSE OPTIONS
This program has a number of full-time, part-time and distance course options to meet the diploma requirements. Visit www.nait.ca for more information.
