The finance degree program at UNK equips students to be skilled managers of financial assets, able to steward and grow the resources in their care. Foundational courses in business administration teach students core principles in economics, accounting, statistics, and more, with specialized courses in topics like financial statement analysis, investments and portfolio management giving students a well-rounded, sought-after skillset.
As a finance major, you’ll benefit from an AACSB-accredited program and take courses from faculty with real-world business experience who believe that hands-on learning is integral to setting students up for success in their careers.
Rather than relying solely on online simulators, students gain real-world investment experience before they graduate though the Bauhard Investment Program Fund, managing actual investments alongside faculty in a classroom setting.

“I am extremely thankful for the extra time and effort professors poured into my educational development.” Larraga says the experience that most impacted him during his time at UNK was conducting a case study through the small business management course. “We selected local companies in Kearney to perform strategic and financial analysis. The owner was impressed with the content of the analysis and amazed with the reports, and now I currently work for this company.”
