Finance, Information Systems, and Management Science
Discover how money is made, invested and managed. A major in Finance will prepare you to understand and reason through a wide spectrum of financial decisions. Finance involves the preparation of financial reports, tax and regulatory requirements, cash flow, management, investment, and development of information.
Over the past few decades, information systems and e-business have transformed the business landscape around the world. The Bachelor of Commerce degree with a major in Computing and Information Systems was designed to respond to industry calls for business-savvy professionals with theoretical and practical understanding of all five information systems components: hardware, software, data, processes, and users.
