Department of Finance

Message from the Department

Welcome to the Towson University Department of Finance! As an academic department, we teach analytical skills and financial models and nurture curious minds to become passionate about the social and economic welfare of the community. Striving for academic excellence, we cultivate a forward-thinking environment for students to grow professionally with an emphasis in ethical behavior. Upon graduation, our students are expected to be respectable corporate citizens, who bring common good to the global business environment. The mission of the Towson University Department of Finance is to achieve excellence in teaching while offering students a curriculum that is based on leading-edge financial skills and techniques. We encourage students to participate in extra-curricular activities that are offered through the department's student organizations such as the Towson chapter of the Financial Management Association and the Wall Street Investors Investment Club.

Through the support of the CFA Institute, we provide CFA scholarships and a mentorship program to qualified students. We emphasize on a close working relationship with professionals in the industry and train students to be top-notch professionals through internships.

The demise of Enron and other corporate scandals dampen investors' confidence and potentially dissuade prospective students from attending business schools. We believe it is our responsibility as scholars, teachers, mentors and coaches, to help the community regain confidence in the market during one of the most challenging time periods in financial history. We welcome you to join us in a truly meaningful and wonderful learning experience. If you have any questions, please know that we are here to help you. Thank you for visiting us!
