Finance Undergraduate Program

Finance is the study of resource allocation, that is, the process, markets, institutions, and instruments that facilitate the transfer of money and wealth. This program offers students an opportunity to study the finance function in the business firm, the financial services firm and the financial system.

The Finance major provides students with the theoretical framework and analytical tools and techniques to handle a variety of finance and business functions. The program is designed to prepare a student for financial positions with non-financial corporations, the financial services industry, energy companies, small businesses, and real estate firms.

Finance majors may choose one of six tracks.  Track selection varies by catalog and each student is admitted to The University under a specific catalog (Ex: 2004-2006 catalog or 2006-2008 catalog).  Scroll down to view current track options available under each catalog.

Additionally, Finance majors can specialize further by applying for the Financial Analysts Program (FAP). This year and a half long program provides an opportunity for a select group of outstanding business students to work closely with finance faculty and industry professionals to develop their skills and experience as analysts. Students are offered intensive, “hands-on” experience in applying the concepts of business analysis and valuation to decision contexts similar to those in the business world. This program may be combined with any of the finance options. For more information on the FAP, see http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/AIMCenter/FAPMain.htm
