Welcome to the Department of Banking and Financial Management home page.

The mission of our Department is twofold. First, to develop new venues in the Department’s program in finance that will afford exciting learning opportunities to our students. And second, to establish a leading core for modern financial research. The finance faculty is committed to sustaining excellence in teaching activities, research activities and helping our students succeed.
