BA/BS in Finance at University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada is a bachelor's degree in Finance, Banking & Insurance programme. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 48,932 per year (CAD 10,110 per year for local students).
The Finance major within the University of Saskatchewan's Bachelor of Commerce, delivered through the Edwards School of Business, covers the management of funds, including saving, lending and investing, with coursework spanning finance theory, corporate and securities finance, risk and insurance, venture capital, financial planning and modelling, and investment and portfolio management. Students complete a shared first year of business courses before specializing in finance in second year. The four-year program is available full-time, with direct entry from high school, and can begin at the Saskatoon or Prince Albert campuses or off-campus. Third-year students can pursue an optional co-op placement consisting of an eight-month paid work term, and the program offers a Student Managed Portfolio Trust that gives students practical experience managing an investment portfolio, alongside study-abroad opportunities and the option of a concurrent second degree. The curriculum aligns with the body of knowledge tested by the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. The program suits students aiming for careers such as financial analyst, financial planner, bank manager or stockbroker, and provides a business-wide foundation before its finance-specific specialization begins.
