Reviews of BSBA in Financial Management graduates:

D. R.

◈ Studied Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Financial Management
◈ At Xavier University
◈ Graduated 2014

Why did I choose BSBA in Financial Management: I was a shiftee from accountancy, but this course is from an option to a passion.

About my college education: Since the day that I shifted, it became easy for me, I never got to experience studying overnights, studying endlessly, I just study for utmost 3 hours. But What I didn't knew was, the course was interesting after all, it teaches us how to manage our funds, where to put them, studying financial markets and the like. I get to use this practically in the future when I have funds.

The skills that I needed to achieve the course was consistency, I was an average student consistent B (or mostly Bs) while sometimes I would get below that and sometimes higher than that but that is my Average, if I felt that I needed to study, then I study to get me back to average. Attitude, determination are keys for the success of my course.

My current job: I don't have an 8 hour job, but I am a insurance agent thus would mean financial consultant.

Do I recommend studying BSBA in Financial Management: This course would teach you how financial markets work. But it you are in a city that has not really developed the sense of these financial markets (same as where I am living now) then you have zero in employment opportunities, you become a normal graduate of a business course being hired as tellers or ranks in the rank and file.

Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course: The advice I can give is that still consistency, even after you graduate you should still study the financial markets because one day you'll notice that it has become very useful for you especially in handling your cash, you get to know when, where and how to place them.
