BUAD 320 - Finance in an International Environment


Credits: (1-3)
Prerequisite(s): BUAD 203  or instructor permission.
This course introduces non-business students to corporate financial concepts and decision making in an international context.  Students will gain an appreciation of the role of financial markets and institutions in our economy, as well as understand the responsibilities, concerns, and methods of analysis employed by corporate financial managers.  Students will learn about the sources of funding for corporations and how managers increase the value of the firm by allocating financial resources.  In this course, we will pay particular attention to how global differences in institutions, laws and regulations, and culture impact these financial decisions.  Analysis of governance quality, taxation, capital market development, and political risk will focus on a designated global region.
Note: This course may not be used for fulfillment of BUAD 323 nor may it satisfy as a prerequisite for upper level finance courses.  Students may not receive credit for both BUAD 320 and BUAD 323.
