Finance is a major designed to prepare you for a career in financial management—or the art of managing money for people, markets, businesses or governments. At the Leighton School, finance majors complete a rigorous program that teaches students to understand and interpret financial markets and institutions, investments, and corporate financial management.
I’ve had a lot of opportunities to network with professionals in the field.
