Financial Management Certificate: Global Finance Perspectives
The Financial Management certificate provides a global perspective to financial markets, risk and return. Special emphasis is placed on corporate financial management, emerging financial markets and global financial management. Students learn how transition economies join the wave of globalization through liberalization of financial markets, deregulation of industries and relaxation of policies governing foreign direct investment.
As an added perk, once you apply for a certificate you are accepted into Ashland University's MBA program and can continue taking courses toward your MBA degree.
