Finance majors study topics such as investment banking, international finance, asset and liability management, stocks and bonds and forecasting and budgeting. Some finance majors allow you to choose a specialization, such as real estate, investment analysis or corporate finance.
Most finance majors work in the financial departments of companies, in charitable organizations, the government or in banks, according to the Princeton Review.
If you're interested in a finance major, take AP Calculus BC, AP macroeconomics, AP microeconomics, statistics, computer applications and business electives in high school.
