Finance major, 3+1 program,

Amanda Burgess ‘25, M’26, a finance major in the Barney s honors program, has a passion for personal finance, investing, budgeting, and working with numbers. As part of the 3+1 accelerated program, she will continue her studies at UHart and complete her MBA while working as a client relationship associate for WHZ Strategic Wealth Advisors, the first step in her journey to becoming a financial advisor.

My favorite part about UHart is the environment. I enjoy the small class sizes, which allow for better relationships with professors.
