Student Organizations

The Robert Garnett chapter of the FMA is dedicated to furthering both education and knowledge of the field of finance and support of students seeking to obtain degrees in finance at Texas State University. The Financial Management Association at Texas State University allows students to become more familiar with the different career opportunities within the financial industry. FMA is open to all majors and has had a wide variety of speakers from such companies to come and speak about what their position entails, what they look for when hiring, and also possible internship positions.
