Designed for students who already hold an Associate Degree and want to move into corporate finance, this completion track builds on foundational coursework with intermediate topics in valuation, investment analysis, and financial risk. Students strengthen the analytical skills needed to support financial planning and decision-making in an organization.
The one-year, flexible format is structured for working adults, allowing transfer credit to count toward the 84 total credit hours required for the degree. A capstone bridge project ties earlier coursework to bachelor's-level finance practice, preparing graduates for roles such as financial analyst or finance associate.
