General Description of the

The Department of Finance seeks to provide
students with solid theoretical and practical knowledge in the areas of
banking, corporate finance, investments, portfolio management, financial risk
management, financial engineering, financial institutions, markets, and
international finance.
The Department of Finance and Real Estate also
offers an undergraduate major in Real Estate. Real Estate students are provided
with a comprehensive exposure to the real estate industry with an emphasis on
international real estate, the quantification of real estate decisions, the
financing of real estate, and the financial markets that support real estate

earning a double major in real estate and finance.

Other Teaching Qualifications
(Description of Required Academic Degree and Justifications4 for the
programs in Finance and Real Estate)
|
|
Consideration
of other teaching qualifications in lieu of academic credentials is made on a
case-by-case basis and accepted in special cases where evidence of exceptional
industry experience, research or other qualifications can be documented and are
directly applicable to the course being taught.

1 |
Whenever
instructors are not credentialed by their advanced degree or by an approved
CIP relationship, they must be credentialed through a narrative justification
of the instructor’s qualifications to teach this/these course(s). Such credentialing is based on the proposed
instructor’s academic and professional preparation; diplomas, certificates,
or relevant licensures; publications and presentations in the field; honors,
awards, and professional recognitions; and other demonstrated competencies,
skills, and experiences which the instructor brings to the University. These must be clearly tied to the specific
courses to be taught and should establish beyond doubt that the instructor is
qualified to teach the specific courses they are to be assigned. The
Office of the Provost reviews all such justifications and where the
justifications warrant the instructor’s teaching the courses proposed, it
will either approve the justification for the appropriate period (seven years
for full-time faculty members, or four years for part-time faculty members)
or employ one of two additional clearance categories beyond the advanced
degree and related-discipline categories which it may use to credential some
instructors where their accomplishments warrant this: Active
Research Clearance in the Discipline or Active Artistic/Special Talent
Clearance in the Discipline |

(1)The appropriate
academic degrees and justifications for each related degree above if not
obvious; (2) the justification for why the terminal degree is not a doctorate
in a discipline, e.g., specific examples of best practice in the discipline
and accrediting association language; and (3) any other criteria used to
determine appropriate academic qualifications to teach specialty courses in
the program. |
