Florida Tech faculty bring wide-ranging experience to the classroom, presenting a curriculum relevant to today’s complex business environment. Active in research that’s published in top journals, faculty leverage their real-world business experience to share expert insight with students and to encourage innovative thinking and exploration.

As a finance major, you’ll gain practical experience applicable to your career through hands-on learning experiences and case studies. You’ll complete detailed capital budgeting projects, learn to prepare and analyze financial statements and make corporate financial decisions, manage assets and study concepts such as WACC (weighted average cost of capital) and CAPM (capital asset pricing model).

A highlight of your degree program will be a business practicum that integrates academic study with practical experience in the field. You’ll be matched with a host organization of interest, learn how it functions and gain practical insight into problem-solving and decision-making processes.

Through written and oral presentations, roundtable discussions, weekly summary reports and work at your host employer’s location, you’ll gain a more comprehensive understanding of business as you acquire practical experience, expand your professional network and perhaps even land a pre-graduation job offer.
