Business Management Banking and Finance - Northwest State Community College

Business Management Banking and Finance from Northwest State Community College is a Campus Associate Banking degree that prepares you for a Business career. The Banking and Finance major provides students with a broad and practical background in bank-related management skills and the application of those skills to the banking field. Topics with which a bank manager should be familiar (commercial and real estate lending, investments, regulatory structure, and financial statements) receive major emphasis. Several course projects require extensive research into these bank-related fields. The graduate is also familiar with the computer field and with some accounting and spreadsheet applications. The graduate is qualified for a position as a Manager or Assistant Manager of a small bank, savings and loan, or credit union. In a larger institution, the graduate could specialize in either the loan origination or consumer/commercial credit department. Real Estate classes are offered in a seminar format as full-day sessions on weekends. Career Outlook Most opportunities will be found in financial institutions which include banks, credit unions, loan companies, insurance firms, stock brokerage firms, investment banking firms, and commercial and residential real estate businesses. Job opportunities appear to be solid. For instance, growth for loan officer positions is expected to grow faster than the average through the year 2008. As the economy grows, loan officers/counselors will process more applications for commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans.
