The Lamar MBA with a concentration in financial management helps those working at financial institutions as well as students interested in management roles in other fields.
Students are advantaged by the core MBA curriculum—which overviews broad concepts of accounting, marketing and management—while still getting the specificity of the concentration courses in finance.
The financial management concentration provides you with advanced skills in corporate finance and investments. You'll study how to select different instruments for investments, financing business activities and managing financial risk.
