Finance
The Finance curriculum at Clark
Atlanta University is designed to provide students with tools
required for careers in financial management in non-financial
corporations, the financial services industry, and not-for-profit
organizations. Course offerings at undergraduate and graduate
levels include required courses for all students enrolled in
the School of Business Administration and elective courses for
students enrolled in the finance area, and are designed to equip
students with breadth of knowledge required to become effective
financial analysts and managers in a rapidly changing global
economic environment.
The Finance Department is an academic unit within the School
of Business. The activities of the Department include the development
of the finance curricula, instructional materials, teaching graduate
and undergraduate level finance courses, research and community
service. The department's activities are functionally focused
in all areas of finance, as a discipline, empirical application
and managerial decision-making. All departmental faculty have
their primary specialization in finance as a functional field
of expertise, with secondary specialization in areas affiliated
to finance in business administration and economics.
Goals
and Mission Statement
The mission of the Finance Department, consistent with that of
the School and the University, is to educate students to become
managers and leaders in a rapidly changing, information-oriented
global economic environment. This entails the teaching of decision-making
ability, analytical skills and a set of values that lead to moral
management. It is the mission of the Department to help produce
graduates who have these values. In accordance with this mission,
the Department also pursues other goals, including the production
of relevant business research and service to the community.
Within this context, the Finance
Department ardently pursues the development of analytical skills
and r decision-making abilities in its students. In addition,
it is our goal to incorporate ethical issues into the classroom
to foster the development of moral values by our students (future
business leaders). Our graduates should understand that value-maximizing
decisions must take into account issues of social responsibility,
as the shareholder value approach is a long-term, decision-making
framework. The Finance Department manages the academic program
of the Real Estate Institute, a service arm of the University
that has a separate operating budget. The Real Estate Institute
is funded by a combination of university and external funds.
