The finance program integrates a core business foundation with the specialized knowledge and applied skills of the finance professional. Classes are small, discussion-based, and led by faculty experts who are master teachers. Our students learn finance by doing finance, from managing an actual portfolio to analyzing the same real-time global financial data used in the professional world.

Reach beyond traditional business spheres, connecting business study with other talents and interests. Students in the marketing major learn to apply their creativity to winning customers or advancing ideas. Students in the interdisciplinary business major design custom programs—drawing on courses within and beyond the business school—to support careers in any field, from art to public policy.

iconGlobal Business

A global marketplace means that all business professionals—whether or not they travel abroad—interact with customers, suppliers, and colleagues from other countries and cultures. Get ready for this new business reality by combining a business major with a program in international studies. Choose Global Business I or Global Business II; both options deliver business breadth and international depth.

iconUndeclared

You’re sure about a business career, just not so sure about your major. Accounting? Finance? Management? It can be hard to choose! With our Undeclared Business program, incoming students can take up to two years to declare a major, ensuring they make the right choice for their personal interests and career goals. Even better, the program is designed to keep undeclared majors from losing time or credits.
