The finance

on corporate finance,
financial institutions,
and investments.
Additionally, students
can take several
real estate classes.
The Howard University
finance program
differs from other
programs in significant
ways. ( See
Courses) Insurance
Program
The insurance
curriculum consists
of approximately
50% arts and sciences
courses, 35% core
business administration
courses and 15%
insurance
courses. The
specialized courses
in insurance are
designed to give
students the theoretical
knowledge they need
for careers in insurance
and the practical
skills necessary
to gain employment
in the insurance
industry. The courses
cover the nature
of risk, life and
health insurance,
property and casualty
insurance, risk
management, and
employee benefits.
Insurance majors
select finance and
real estate courses
as electives and
complete two independent
study projects.

has increasingly
become a global
marketplace where
companies and individuals
must be prepared
to meet competition
from countries around
the world. The School
of Business is a
pioneer in the field
of international
business education
at the undergraduate
level. Such an education
provides the tools
necessary for a
student to become
a future leader
in the dynamic global
marketplace.
