What courses could a liberal arts major (like me) take if she might also be interested in finance?

I posted this question in business section but not much action over there…
I’m thinking about a possible change in careers. Right now, I work a PR firm but now I might be interested in working a brokerage firm. I’m about a year away from earning my a bachelors in liberal arts so I obviously don’t want to start all overs. What courses could I still take and be relevant for the finance field? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks,Caroline
Yes, I’m currently a junior with about 80 something hours.

Hi Caroline
You could probably incorporate some economics courses into your area of study and/or get a minor in economics since if I am understand this right you are sort of in the middle of your junior year in college.
Good Luck!!!

If you want to learn Finance, you ought to take the following (at a minimum):
One or two accounting classes
As many math and statistics classes as you can stand to take
An introductory course in Finance
A course in corporate finance
A course in investments.
