In the banking industry today, employees hired for entry-level positions need to have some knowledge of basic accounting, financial services and mathematical applications relating to payments, annuities and future value. In order to advance in the industry, banking employees are encouraged to pursue certification in securities sales. The banking associate certificate program meets those needs.

The goal is that students successfully completing the one-year banking associate certificate will be exposed to all the tools and skills necessary to be successful in the undertaking of entry level positions in the field of banking.
