Financial Services Bachelor's Degree Overview
Business professionals with finance degrees manage money. Those with financial services degrees focus more on people. They advise clients about investing and financial matters.
That’s why The University of Toledo requires financial services majors to take a sales class. We want our students to know how to interact with clients. (UT’s sales program is one of just five accredited programs in the U.S.)
UToledo’s nationally-ranked College of Business and Innovation is one of the country’s best. We offer a variety of specialties for financial services majors, including:
- Commercial real estate
- Financial institutions
- Insurance
- Investments
- Sales
A career in financial services is perfect for those who like to work on their own. One in five personal finance advisers is self-employed (source: U.S. Department of Labor).
