My finance classes, along with my general business classes, challenged my creativity in ways that it hasn't ever been before. I've loved getting to know both the students and professors involved in my major. The small class sizes facilitate a great relationship with the professors, and all of my professors have shown that they genuinely care about the success of our futures.
