Students who have completed their Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Ramapo have been employed by national and local C.P.A. firms, small and large corporations, banks and other service industries, and non profit organizations. Additionally, many Ramapo business students are accepted into graduate and doctoral programs annually. Students must choose one of the following concentrations: Finance, Management, or Marketing, and may choose up to two concentrations.

The Finance Program (Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration) provides students with a comprehensive overview of corporate financial principles, a rigorous exposure to quantitative financial methods and techniques, and an introduction to capital theory.  In addition, students have the opportunity to learn how financial markets and institutions interact to allocate capital and manage business and personal financial risks.  Finance courses also teach students how financial managers participate in the global economy and use forecasting tools and techniques to plan their businesses more efficiently.  Students can participate in the co-op program which gives them the opportunity to work under the supervision of a financial professional and a faculty advisor. The Finance Program prepares students for careers in financial analysis, stock brokerage, money management, real estate analysis, banking and risk management, international finance, and provides them with a solid foundation to pursue a graduate degree in business.

In order to enhance the learning experience of students, the Anisfield School of Business opened the Global Financial Markets Trading Laboratory in 2010.  With real-time access to the world’s financial data and state-of-the-art trading systems, the lab allows faculty members to give students valuable insights into how the financial and economic theories taught in the classroom apply in real financial markets.  Certain sections of classes such as Corporate Finance and Securities and Investments are taught entirely in the trading lab, while other business courses meet occasionally in the Lab to utilize the technology in connection with specific topics or projects.
