Creighton Graduate Program in Finance Ranked Among Best of its Kind

Omaha, NE (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

In its ranking of the best master’s and MBA programs around the world, Eduniversal has named Creighton University’s Master’s in Security Analysis and Portfolio Management (MSAPM) one of the best finance programs in the world, ranking it at the number 32 position.

Creighton received this honor by scoring well on the three ranking criteria used by Eduniversal: the reputation of the program, salaries of students’ first jobs after graduating, and their overall level of satisfaction.

The Eduniversal ranking further underscores the quality and prestige of Creighton’s programs. The university has been ranked the #1 university in the Midwest by US News & World Report for the past nine years. The magazine also named Creighton the #21 best business school for finance in 2011.

For finance professionals interested in jobs at the highest levels in this competitive field, Creighton’s MSAPM program offers rigorous coursework designed to offer critical, advanced knowledge about investment assessment, security analysis and portfolio management. Creighton is one of only 36 universities in the U.S. that have earned the distinction of being a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) Program Partner1 , and the only CFA Program Partner School in the U.S. to offer its program completely online as well as in-residence on campus.

The curriculum of the MSAPM reflects topics covering all three levels of the CFA® exam, offering students the unique opportunity to work towards a prestigious master’s degree while simultaneously preparing for the CFA® exams. Whether or not students decide to pursue this designation, they will receive a high-quality, practitioner-oriented master’s education in finance that provides the extensive knowledge required of savvy investment professionals.

“The global nature of the Eduniversal ranking makes it especially meaningful,” said Randy D. Jorgensen, director of the MSAPM program. “Besides highlighting the value of the MSAPM, it helps publicize the program to finance professionals around the world who are interested in earning a degree that can help them get to the top of their field.”

The Business Finance Store Shows Small Businesses What They Can Learn from Occupy Wall Street

Funding Is Available

Fountain Valley, CA (PRWEB) October 07, 2011

The Occupy Wall Street movement is gaining momentum with protests not only in New York City but in various cities throughout the country. Whether or not one agrees with the movement’s demands (as broad as they may seem), there are a few key lessons that small businesses can consider from the Occupy Wall Street protests. In the recent blog post “Wall Street Protestors- What Small Business Can Learn from Occupy Wall Street,” the Business Finance Store highlights some key lessons that small businesses can learn from this social movement growing around the United States.

A few years ago the big news was the Bailout that gave tons of money to large banks so that they could make loans to consumers and small businesses, in an effort to save the failing economy. However, a few years later, the end result has strayed from the desired outcome with large banks buying out small banks instead of lending more and the economy still in need of help. This outcome has caused dissatisfaction among many, particularly those Occupy Wall Street protesters. Small businesses are among those who lost out. While not all are taking part in these protests and some might disagree, small businesses can learn a few things from these protests. Read more about what small businesses can learn from the Occupy Wall Street protests at the Business Finance Store blog.

The Business Finance Store Offers Tips for Small Businesses on Building an Effective Pricing Strategy

Funding Is Available

Fountain Valley, CA (PRWEB) September 30, 2011

Last week, General Mills hinted that the US cereal market might be recovering from the year-long price war that cut the profits of several large cereal producing companies, like Kellogg and Ralcorp. While pricing strategy for large corporations is complicated and probably seemingly irrelevant to small businesses, there are lessons to be learned from these cereal price wars. In a recent blog post “Building an Effective Pricing Strategy for Your Small Business,” the Business Finance Store offers lesson from the cereal price war and tips on how small businesses can build an effective pricing strategy.

Generally, there is a big difference between the pricing strategies of a big business and that of a small business. Large companies have historical data and statistics, something start-ups and small businesses usually lack. However, this does not mean small businesses cannot learn from the mistakes of large corporations. Read more about how small businesses can avoid errors in pricing, such price wars, at the Business Finance Store blog.
