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, insurance and risk management, international finance, and provides them with a solid foundation to pursue a graduate degree in business, finance, and economics .
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. All business students participate in a stock market trading exercise in the core finance course. Certain sections of classes such as Securities and Investments and Corporate Valuation 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.
