Earn college credits this summer from Marist's AACSB-accredited School of Management.
Message from the Finance Pre-College Director
Talented CEOs, savvy bankers, successful entrepreneurs, extraordinary marketing professionals, and inspiring community servants all have one thing in common: strong financial skills. If you plan on working in an organization, or perhaps running your own business, you are going to rely heavily on your own financial skills.
One of the best things about finance, however, is that the same principals used to run businesses can also be applied to our personal lives. This thought describes the approach taken in this course. We will first learn time-tested foundational concepts in finance, and then we will explore how to apply those concepts in business and in our personal lives.
