MBA – Finance

An MBA Personalized for Your Interests
There are many advantages to obtaining your online MBA from Marylhurst University. One of the unique educational options that Marylhurst offers, which most other schools do not, is the ability to customize your studies with an elective MBA concentration.

Focus on the Bottom Line with a Finance Concentration
Regardless of what your business does, no matter what the size of your company is, it’s extremely important that there’s an ethical Chief Financial Officer or finance professional who understands all the intricacies of working with money, handling investments and making sure the company stays fiscally healthy.

Every business professional needs to know the basics of finance, but there should be an elite class of financial professionals in every business who can calculate risk as well as plan and perform financial analysis. It’s an essential part of business and there will always be a need for talented finance professionals.

When you elect to pursue a Finance MBA, you’ll take an advanced look at corporate and international finance and analyze real investment decisions, perform risk assessment, and discover the ethical concerns involved with business. Students will explore the role of foreign capital markets and study the economic effects at home and abroad. Investment and portfolio management will highlight the difference between real and financial assets while shedding light on the role of analysts and financial officers.

Other concentrations include MBA in General Management, MBA in Marketing, MBA in Healthcare Management, MBA in Nonprofit Management, and MBA in Real Estate Studies.
