Finance Major

Finance makes the business world go around.

Tippie’s BBA in finance is a total immersion in finding, following, managing, and making money.

You make some money. You save it in a bank. The bank lends the money to a business. The business uses it to build a factory and pay employees. The employees save their pay in a bank, and the cycle starts again. Every part of that cycle—where to get money, how to invest money, how much to price and pay for things so that your business (or your household) stays in business—involves a financial decision. The bankers, brokers, analysts, and planners who make those decisions studied finance, just like you.

Success in finance is fundamental

The value of an investment opportunity—a company, a piece of real estate, an entire market—is all about the underlying fundamentals. With Tippie’s BBA in finance, you’ll understand those fundamentals like the back of your hand. And with experiences like the Krause Fund, in which you‘ll manage a stock portfolio worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, you’ll know how to apply those fundamentals like a pro.
