Finance

Introduction

Finance is the cornerstone of the enterprise system and is important to the economic health of business firms and non-profit organizations. It is a dynamic field that is categorized by continuous change in response to shifts in economic conditions making the study of finance stimulating and challenging. Our professors will help you learn to develop, analyze and interpret financial statements, learn to invest in financial assets and learn to create and evaluate plans to achieve long-term financial success.

Overview

The finance major at Manhattanville is comprised of courses in economics, accounting, finance, and quantitative methods, which will help prepare you for a wide range of career paths including accountants, auditors, and non-profit organization founders.

While studying finance at Manhattanville you will have to take a Senior Seminar in the fall of your final year, where you will have to discuss your research findings and conclusions in a thesis. You will also have the opportunity to do an internship in finance to help toward major requirements.

The Department of Economics, Finance, and Management offers a major and minor in finance, as well as a certificate program for non-matriculated students.

Note: Courses with the FIN code are not liberal arts. As with all non-liberal arts courses at the College, this is indicated by double asterisks after the title of the course. Students majoring in Finance are urged to plan carefully to ensure that they will have the 60 liberal arts credit hours required for the B.S. degree or the 90 liberal arts credit hours required for the B.A. degree.
