Beginning this fall, an additional major in finance has joined Alvernia University’s business programming.
In a statement, the university noted the new major will open doors for students to pursue careers in both corporate and nonprofit sectors.
Students majoring in finance at Alvernia will develop an understanding of the functions and applications of financial markets, and learn how to access and utilize the financial information they will need. They will experience real-life learning that enables links between classroom experiences and the larger community, officials said.
“I am especially excited about our new finance major,” said Dr. Scott Ballantyne, business department chair at Alvernia, in a statement. “Prospective students and employers have been inquiring about it, so I am pleased with the addition of the major. Additionally, I have worked in the finance field for years and plan on teaching several of the courses. This new program will address the growing needs of the industry.”
