Reviews of BSBA in Financial Management graduates:

J. L.

◈ Studied BSBA - Major in Financial Management
◈ At Colegio de San Juan de Letran
◈ Graduated 2013

Why did I choose BSBA in Financial Management: I transferred from BS-Accountancy to BSBA-Major in financial management. Financial Management focuses more on the operational cash flow of the corporation or of a company.

About my college education: What I cannot forget in this course is everything about good and bad investments.
The subjects that are most difficult would probably be the minor subjects (Rizal, NSTP, PE, mostly are the ones who would fail the students even if it is a minor subject. Especially NSTP, they are very strict and high standards in that subject matter.)

Investment is the most useful, you can see investment in your everyday life. It makes you to think more of a businessman than an ordinary person.

Major subjects are very difficult but the ones who aim to have no line of 7 can do it better than the others, no, some others shift course, but just in a different major.

My current job: I am currently in my second year of law school.

How long did it take to find a job: My first job offer was 4 months after my graduation, thanks to a referral from letran.

Do I recommend studying BSBA in Financial Management: For employment opportunities, BSBA-major in financial management is good. BSBA-FM gives you varieties of work that you can do. You can have different jobs and even be a CFO if you are good.

Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course: Do not feel belittled by the BS-AC, as far as anybody know, what you are learning is the same as what they are learning.
You just have to prove that they are not higher than you.
Be sure to be creative and also sociable, it may become handy when it comes to your thesis'
