David Lee (BSc Business Analytics with Minor in Finance)
As a Business Analytics student, pursuing a Minor in Finance aligns with my current learning and career goals by allowing me to develop two distinct, powerhouse skill sets. My major equips me with statistical forecasting and data architecture, while the Finance minor provides strategic frameworks in corporate valuation, asset pricing, and market mechanics.
