<p>I think there are also some departmental scholarships available.</p>
<p>As a finance major, I may be a bit biased, but from what I’ve seen and heard, the finance program at UA is quite strong and is a popular major. There is a big selection of finance classes and it is very easy to get a dual major in other business fields, particularly economics. There is also a wide variety of clubs to join devoted to business. The buildings housing the Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration (CBA) are located close together on or near the quad, most were renovated around 2004. I second the previous reply to check out their website. I’m not sure about specific college/departmental scholarships, but I’m sure there are many. If the student is interested, CBA has many honors programs besides UHP, IHP, and CBHP, including ones that would let the student get an MS in finance along with the BS in finance.</p>
<p>I almost switched to finance. I wish I would have now looking back.</p>
