AA/AS in Finance and Financial Management Services

Students who enjoy numbers, banking, and handling money can prepare for work in credit and finance through this program at the St. Cloud college. Every class is taught online, so people with jobs or family duties can fit study around their schedules. The curriculum covers banking and consumer lending, along with risk, accounting, business law, and managing personal money. Learners build practical technical knowledge alongside interpersonal skills that employers value. Two credentials are available. The associate of applied science runs sixty credits, while the diploma is a shorter, fifty-four credit option for those wanting to start working sooner. Employers that hire from the program include banks, credit unions, lenders, and firms that collect debts. Past graduates have found positions in lending, accounting, collections, communications, and management. The program works for people beginning a new career as well as those already in finance who want to advance.
