The Finance Program

More CEOs trace their academic and professional careers through finance than through any other business discipline. And in today's complex global business environment, a thorough understanding of this critical business activity increasingly is a prerequisite for success in nearly every enterprise. Golden Gate University's Department of Finance and Economics is committed to presenting a broad array of top-quality courses in all facets of this fascinating field. We offer graduate and undergraduate degrees and certificates in finance and financial planning. These programs are available at several locations and in a variety of formats, including traditional classroom courses and Internet-based, online offerings. And every one of our programs stresses professional practice education, an unwavering focus on how you can be a better, more effective manager.

Finance Degrees and Certificates

Graduate degrees include the MBA with a finance concentration and an MS degree in finance. We also offer professional certificates for managers who need updates, not degrees, in finance. The certificate in technical market analysis prepares students for the rigorous Chartered Market Technician (CMT) examination, and the certificate in finance can be structured to serve as preparation for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam. Undergraduates can apply for the BBA degree with a concentration in finance and for a certificate in finance. Let us talk with you about how your professional goals and our educational programs fit together to move your career to the next level.

Finance Degrees Online at GGU

It is possible to complete the requirements for the MBA in finance and the MS degrees in finance without ever setting foot in class (although you can also mix and match online and in-class courses in combinations that are most convenient for you). Online courses present the same material, taught by the same professors, that you would experience in the classroom but with the added convenience of being able to ask questions, make comments, and confer with your classmates 24-hours a day, from your home or office.

Every step of the process, from registration to book ordering to exams, has been designed to facilitate effective learning at a distance. And many students report greater satisfaction with their cyber-courses than with material presented in more traditional formats. Online education may not be right for everyone, but for the student whose location makes in-class study impractical, or whose career demands make classroom schedules hard to meet, CyberCampus offers an unmatched opportunity to earn the degree you need and want.
