Business - Financial Analysis

Overview

The Core of Your Training

The basis of the Business - Financial Analysis from Anderson University (South Carolina) is comprised of several key subjects through which you’ll learn how to creatively solve problems in economics and finance:

• Processing numerical information

You’ll discover that using data in a way that benefits your company and clients is a matter of knowing how to collect, analyze and interpret numbers. Your focus in these areas will teach you how to handle data with professionalism and precision.

• Manage portfolios

When a company brings you into its fold, its leaders expect excellence from you. And, in the business world, that means generating returns. You’ll manage a simulated portfolio, then analyze and evaluate your decisions and their effect on your portfolio.

• Understanding the big picture

Economies around the world operate in different ways. As a result, wealth and its distribution vary from one economy to another. You’ll do a deep dive into free markets, monopolies, oligopolies and monopolistic competition as part of your understanding of microeconomics. You’ll pair this knowledge with macroeconomics in which you’ll grapple with inflation, unemployment, production and corresponding economic theories.
