Millions of Americans invest in mutual funds and individual stocks — millions more count on the dividends of retirement plans. Corporations raise and invest billions of dollars of capital annually. At the heart of it all are financial professionals, who analyze and maximize the value of investments for individual families as well as multinational firms.

THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

DO FINANCE. Marquette is home to one of the nation’s only undergraduate programs in applied investment management, which allows a select group of finance majors to get hands-on academic and professional experience investing, including actively managing portfolios throughout their senior year. Students study the body of knowledge covered in the Certified Financial Analyst I exam, preparing them to take the test upon graduation.

INTERNSHIPS. More than half of our students hold at least one paid internship.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Milwaukee is home to more than a dozen investment firms, each with more than $1 billion in managed assets, plus dozens of banks, insurers and corporate headquarters, making it a great place to study finance.

LEARN FROM THE EXPERTS. Your finance classes will be taught only by pros — professors with significant expertise in and connections to the financial world.

WANT TO WORK FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL OR CNBC? Business reporting is one of the fastest growing fields in journalism. With a liberal arts-centered curriculum to complement your financial expertise, you could become a well-versed and articulate financial expert — just the kind of person to provide round-the-clock financial news.
