BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN
FINANCE
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
ACCREDITATION
The finance major prepares students for management positions, and they are
taught the principles of financial decision making in order to build an
understanding of the economic, legal, and financial environment in which
they will operate.
The Bachelor of Science in Finance is
accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher
Education and Scientific Research and is
licensed by the KHDA. The program is
also accredited by The Association to
Advance Collegiate Schools of Business
(AACSB).
As a finance major, students go beyond making a budget; they learn how to
analyze a budget and determine opportunities in order to identify the best
investment options. Students become familiar with financial systems and
financial instruments related to assets and liabilities. Specifically, finance
majors study cash flow, asset and risk management, capital markets, portfolio
theory, international finance and forecasting and budgeting. Students
become experts in decision making – one of the main differences between
finance and accounting.

"I’m so very proud to be a part

graduated with a major in
business and a minor in
finance, but it feels like I’m
graduating with something
so much more than that.

About Finance
Finance is the soul of our economic transactions. It is difficult to think of a
world without finance as any economic activity requires money. Similarly,
finance is the prerequisite in order to obtain physical resources which are
required to perform production operations and carry out business activities
such as marketing, paying salaries and so on.
Via the RIT Dubai co-op I had
a rare opportunity of being accepted for an internship with the
United Nations Human Settlements Programme in New York. I
want to thank my academic advisors and professors as I have
spent such four wonderful years with the RIT Dubai family."
