Financial Technology, Minor

Financial Technology (FinTech) is a term used to describe the increasing use of technology in the financial services industry. The presence of Blockchain, coupled with technologies such as Big Data, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, is materially changing the ways that firms in the financial services industry do business. The field of finance has become far more tech-driven in all of its subdisciplines. A FinTech minor will allow students to gain a thorough understanding of the intersection between finance and technology. The minor will provide students with the opportunity to complete at least 18 credit hours, including the rigorous core coursework of a traditional finance domain, while also developing a solid technical background to complement their finance knowledge.

The College of Business and Technology has a set of well-established Program Learning Goals and Learning Objectives across all programs that are assessed on a periodic basis. The College of Business and Technology is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and is among the top five percent of the worldwide business schools offering degree programs. See the Dean’s Welcome for four compelling features to study in the College of Business and Technology.

The FinTech minor is designed to introduce students to the fundamental building blocks of financial technologies and real-world applications. Students will learn the essential components of technology-driven financial strategies, from cryptocurrencies to portfolio optimization to regulations related to FinTech. Students will also learn how to explore the disruptive force of changing financial methods and gain a deeper understanding of digital payments, financial bot-advising, E-crowdfunding, virtual peer-to-peer lending and blockchain.

In addition to affordability and small class-size, students in the program can get benefits in numerous ways, both personally and professionally. By enrolling in the FinTech minor, you can:

Stay relevant with the latest trends and advancements in financial technology.
Enhance practical skills via hands-on learning opportunities with real-world projects, simulations and case studies.
Build a strong professional network within the FinTech field, potentially opening doors to internships, job opportunities and mentorships.
Attain a well-rounded interdisciplinary skill set that encompasses elements from different domains of finance, information systems, economics, analytics and other related fields.

The FinTech labor market is booming. The number of jobs seeking FinTech skills has increased dramatically over the last few years and is predicted to continue growing through the next decade. Obtaining skills in such a dual domain as FinTech will help you not only strengthen your major career path but also broaden your career opportunities that make you more attractive to potential employers in the financial-technology industry.

The skills acquired through this program can be highly valuable for students who pursue their future careers within the top ten fintech sectors, which encompass blockchain, insurtech, mobile banking, online banking, financial analytics, crowdfunding, peer-to-peer lending, smart financing, innovative payments and Robo-advising.

Welcome to the Department of Accounting, Business Law, and Finance.

Accounting

Accounting is the language of business. Employees of small and large organizations must understand basic accounting principles. The knowledge of debits and credits, financial statements, and accounting information systems is basic for all business activities. Accounting majors must, of course, be well grounded in accounting theory and practice. Many accounting majors sit for the Uniformed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Examination and embark on meaningful careers in the public accounting field. Some accounting majors also seek to take the Certified Management Accountant major associated with it.

Business Law

Business Law constitutes the protocols for managerial action. Business Law courses offered at Northeastern are not a pre-law program and are not intended to be preparation for law school.

Finance

Finance is the study of value. Using basic principles from the fields of accounting, economics, and statistics, finance involves analysis of financial institutions, financial markets, and financial concepts. Finance majors can emphasize the study of markets or the study of financial management practices in their coursework. The financial services field has exploded with new kinds of products and services, creating a need for individuals to seek new financial and investment instruments and services and to manage the entities that provide them. Banking, stock brokerage, commodities/futures/options trading, and financial planning and analysis are traditional areas where finance majors find employment. Frequently, finance majors are sought for entry-level positions in the allied fields of real estate and insurance.

For more information about the department, contact the Office Administrator, Dee K. Buetow-Kimpel, at d-buetow@neiu.edu or (773) 442-6141, or the Department Chair, Dr. Nont Dhiensiri, at n-dhiensiri@neiu.edu or (773) 442-4757.

Accounting, M.S.

The M.S. in Accounting offers you a broad base of knowledge about accounting and business theory and practice, tailored for students who wish to meet Illinois' 150-credit hour requirement to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of students with or without undergraduate preparation in business or accounting.

In Fall 2018, AccountingEDU.org named Northeastern's M.S. in Accounting the most affordable among Illinois four-year public universities.

91Porn offers a two-phase Master of Science in Accounting program.

The first phase consists of a set of foundation courses, some or all of which may be waived depending on your prior academic preparation. If your bachelor's degree is not in accounting, you will also need to show proficiency in six undergraduate prerequisite courses: Cost Accounting, Auditing Theory and Problems, Federal Income Tax (Individual), Intermediate Financial Accounting I, Intermediate Financial Accounting II and Business Calculus. You may demonstrate proficiency either through competent coursework or by passing a proficiency examination. Please note that these six courses are program prerequisites. They are not part of the M.S. in Accounting program and cannot be applied to the degree requirements.
The second phase is made up of 30 hours of advanced core courses and is required of all students in the program. Among these advanced courses are six hours of accounting elective classes and nine hours of non-accounting elective classes.

Credit hours required: 30-67

Admission Information

The program admits students for the fall, spring and summer semesters.
