What our students say about the Finance program

“Since I’ve been at SAU, the Gainey School of Business has helped me grow in my faith immensely. Dr. Randy Lewis has shown me that no matter if you’re a Christian or not, everyone needs help with their finances to succeed and wants to feel financially secure.”
