The Finance curriculum at Clark

required for careers in financial management in non-financial
corporations, the financial services industry, and not-for-profit
organizations. Course offerings at undergraduate and graduate levels
include required courses for all students enrolled in the School of
Business Administration and elective courses for students enrolled
in the finance area, and are designed to equip students with breadth
of knowledge required to become effective financial analysts and
managers in a rapidly changing global economic environment. The Finance Department is an academic unit within the School of Business. The activities of the Department include the development of the finance curricula, instructional materials, teaching graduate and undergraduate level finance courses, research and community service. The department's activities are functionally focused in all areas of finance, as a discipline, empirical application and managerial decision-making.

The mission of the Finance Department,
consistent with that of the School and the University, is to educate
students to become managers and leaders in a rapidly changing,
information-oriented global economic environment. This entails the
teaching of decision-making ability, analytical skills and a set of
values that lead to moral management. It is the mission of the
Department to help produce graduates who have these values. In
accordance with this mission, the Department also pursues other
goals, including the production of relevant business research and
service to the community. Within this context, the Finance Department ardently pursues the development of analytical skills and r decision-making abilities in its students. In addition, it is our goal to incorporate ethical issues into the classroom to foster the development of moral values by our students (future business leaders). Our graduates should understand that value-maximizing decisions must take into account issues of social responsibility, as the shareholder value approach is a long-term, decision-making framework. The Finance Department manages the academic program of the Real Estate Institute, a service arm of the University that has a separate operating budget. The Real Estate Institute is funded by a combination of university and external funds. |
