"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." – Benjamin Franklin
Welcome to the Department of Accounting and Finance at Notre Dame University-Louaize (NDU), where we prepare students for successful, ethical, and impactful careers in accounting, finance, banking, financial engineering, and risk management. Our programs combine academic rigor with practical application, ensuring that graduates are equipped to meet the demands of an ever-changing global economy.
The department offers the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Accounting and the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Banking and Finance, both accredited by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), granting graduates valuable exemptions toward professional certification. We also offer the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Financial Engineering, a flagship program designed to cultivate strong quantitative, analytical, and problem-solving skills. At the graduate level, our Master of Science (MS) in Financial Risk Management equips students with advanced expertise to identify, assess, and manage complex financial risks. All programs are housed within the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics, which is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)—a distinction held by fewer than six percent of business schools worldwide.
Our faculty consists of experienced academic researchers and seasoned business professionals, creating a dynamic learning environment where theory and practice converge. Courses are continuously updated to reflect the latest market trends, technological advancements, and ethical considerations, covering areas such as financial reporting, auditing, taxation, corporate finance, investments, banking, derivatives, and risk management.
Our mission is to prepare students with the professional skills, ethical standards, and analytical abilities needed to excel in today’s workplace. We are committed to developing graduates who can assume leadership roles, address complex challenges, and add value to their organizations and communities.
