This certificate provides students with a background in accounting and finance administration in the framework of resource management and wealth maximization. Students learn the fundamentals of business and accounting in a project-oriented environment with emphasis on the use of accounting information to plan and redirect allocations to support business decisions. The financial management course helps to reinforce the concepts of finances administration by focusing on capital management, fixed-asset investment, long-term finance, mergers, leasing, and multinational finance. An alternate course in economics serves to introduce the principles of economics and their application to domestic and foreign conditions and to focus on resource allocations and the influences thereof.
