Financial Technology Advising

Back to programs

Financial technology, commonly referred to as fintech, is a rapidly growing field that has revolutionized financial services. The permeation of technology into traditional banks and financial services firms and the use of technology to improve financial services has led to more efficient, convenient and accessible financial products for consumers and businesses alike, and it has opened opportunities for innovation across the financial sector.

In the BS program in financial technology, students develop an understanding of key concepts, technologies and trends shaping the industry, and they learn to analyze and evaluate the opportunities and challenges presented by financial technology innovations. Students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills to help them effectively apply solutions to practical challenges.
