The Financial Management Association International was established in 1970 to develop a continuing relationship between finance practitioners and academicians to facilitate the transfer of ideas and techniques and advances in the field of finance between universities, businesses and other institutions.

Our Mission:

Through professional speakers, company tours, internships and scholarships, students are provided with opportunities to develop leadership, gain professional training and make employment contacts.

Faculty Thoughts of FMA:

I want to take this opportunity to encourage you to become an active member of the Financial Management Association---particularly if you are a Finance major or thinking about becoming one. This association plays a very important role in your preparation for a career in finance. It brings you into contact with people who actually work in various fields in finance, through the guest speakers program and other ways. It will help you get to know one another, and to share tips and secrets about school and about the outside world. It gives you the opportunity to work with motivated students in planning and executing all of these programs and to develop others. The role of the faculty and the curriculum is to prepare you academically for the various topics in business and finance so that you will have a good understanding of principles and will be successful in your employment. So join the FMA! now.
