In today’s global economy, both government and business are reliant on the financial services industry, which enables institutions to take payments, make investments, acquire insurance, and obtain loans to use for growth. The Financial Services Industry course provides students with a holistic view of the financial services industry, including the variety of services it offers, the regulations that govern the industry, risks and how they are assessed and managed, as well as how technology is shaping the future of the industry.

 

Students will also gain an understanding of how the financial services industry serves both customers and businesses directly. Further, students will learn how to assess competitive services to obtain the best-fit solutions to cover business needs, no matter the size or type of business. Students will leave this course with a solid knowledge of financial institutions, markets, and assessing and managing financial risk. This course is especially beneficial for students aspiring to work in, or advance in, the financial services industry.
