Build Financial Skills for Real-World Success
Housed in the Business and Enterprise Division, Pitt-Johnstown's Finance major is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge required for successful real-world careers in areas like banking, investments, financial services, and corporate finance.
The curriculum provides a thorough understanding of financial theory and the application of financial principles in business. Students develop the analytical and problem-solving skills needed to evaluate financial information and make informed decisions in a variety of organizational settings.
Students have the opportunity to complete either a general track or a Certified Financial Analyst track within the major, allowing them to pursue coursework aligned with their academic and professional interests.
Graduates are prepared for careers in banking, investments, financial services, corporate finance, and related fields. Active involvement from alumni also strengthens the program through networking opportunities that support job shadowing, internships, and employment.
The experience of small class sizes, individualized advising, and meaningful connections with faculty and alumni provides students with both academic support and professional development throughout the program. Graduates maintain strong ties to Pitt-Johnstown through active membership on the Accounting Alumni Advisory Board, helping create opportunities for future Finance students.
