AA/AS in Finance and Financial Management Services

This Associate in Science concentration in Financial Services, with a Financial Management focus, is part of the college's career-oriented business administration offering at Bristol Community College. It sits within the business and career school. The broader program stresses how organizations operate, along with analytical reasoning, solving problems and clear communication, while this concentration adds depth in finance. Because the business programs overlap heavily in coursework, students can move between concentrations with little disruption. Faculty bring practical industry experience, and students are advised to follow the course sequence and to complete any developmental courses early. The program is designed for those entering the workforce right after graduation, in roles such as banking assistant, loan service representative, insurance representative, credit and collections associate or junior financial analyst. A transfer agreement also links graduates to UMass Dartmouth's finance bachelor's degree.
