Finance

If you're good with numbers, enjoy "following the money" from Wall Street to Main Street, and are interested in the art and science of money management, this concentration may be your perfect fit. Students will be exposed to stock evaluations, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance and portfolio analysis.

You will also have the opportunity to  take classes in our Trading Room, attend an annual Capital Markets Colloquium, compete in our Investment Research Challenge or apply skills learned in the classroom on a student-managed fund.
