Creighton University doesn’t want its students to be left behind—and created a fintech degree to ensure that
Data analytics and advanced technology are driving the financial industry. Creighton University doesn’t want its students to be left behind and created a FinTech degree to ensure that.
“Compared to five to ten years ago, the finance field has become far more data-driven in all sub-disciplines of finance, including investments, corporate finance, banking, risk, and insurance,” said Lee Dunham, associate professor of finance and the initiator of the FinTech major. “Consequently, having students just acquire the relevant finance ‘textbook knowledge’ is increasingly becoming insufficient to remain competitive in the workforce.
That’s true of the new FinTech program at Creighton. As part of the program, students will be offered internships specifically geared toward Fintech. According to the University of the 80% of Heider College of Business students that aren’t from Omaha, Nebraska, 50% get their first job in the city. Dunham spent a-year-and-a-half creating the FinTech degree, attending conferences and meetings with financial firms to ascertain what was needed and what would make students competitive in the finance workforce. Bootcamp type schools, which are also meeting the demand for skilled workers, have a place, but they aren’t as extensive as a four-year degree program. “The curriculum for this program is forward-looking.
