The tools you’ll acquire as a finance minor can be applied in fields as varied as health care and technology, public policy and nonprofit work. A basic understanding of how to create budgets and analyze financial data is an appealing skill set—one that employers look for, and one that can help you in whichever career path you decide to pursue.

You’ll examine issues of ﬁnancial management, global investment, ﬁnancial markets, financial technology and innovation, and corporate ﬁnance. And, while developing a foundation in these core areas, you’ll have some flexibility to complement the program with one non-ﬁnance course. Our Terry W. Goodwin ’67 Financial Technology Center is a great resource for exploring your interest in ﬁnance and offers opportunities to practice building ﬁnancial models and analyzing real-time economic data.
