Finance

The finance major at Dickinson is grounded in the liberal arts and built on well-established curricular and programmatic strengths. You will develop rigorous quantitative and analytical skills alongside the ability to communicate clearly, think ethically and evaluate financial systems in social and global contexts. With a curriculum drawing on economics, international business & management, mathematics and data analytics, Dickinson's finance major reflects the inherent interdisciplinarity of finance.

A required experiential learning component, access to Bloomberg Terminals, support from the Burgess Institute for the Global Economy and close faculty mentorship ensure that you will apply what you learn beyond the classroom.

As a finance major, you'll graduate prepared for competitive careers and further study, equipped not only with technical tools but with the judgment, flexibility and perspective that define a Dickinson education.
