FIN 3700 - Financial Markets and Institutions

Content: While examining the financial system of the United States and other countries it introduces students to financial institutions, securities markets, the role of money in the economy, and the monetary system.

The course emphasizes real-world applications on how financial markets and institutions affect the investment decisions of financial managers.

Prerequisites: ECON 1320 and FIN 3100 (grade of C- or better for all courses), or consent of the instructor.
