Finance

When you graduate as a Finance major at Fairfield University's Charles F. Dolan School of Business, you'll be well prepared to start your career in finance, go on to graduate education, or do both. Through the use of case analyses and computer-based problem solving, the finance major aims to blend theory and practice. You will not only perform financial analyses, but also manage portfolios of:

  • Stocks
  • BondsImage: Student
  • Options
  • Futures in domestics and international markets

The Finance major offers a blend of finance theory and applied analysis, but before you get into it, you'll learn a lot about:

  • Business organization
  • Production and operations
  • Marketing
  • Information systems
  • Ethics and the law
  • And more

When you begin the upper-level study of finance, you'll have a good idea of the place of finance in the business world, national and international. Internships and team projects carried out with members of the business community will give you hands-on learning experience and a practical view of the finance function in the business world. These opportunities arise because Fairfield has an excellent reputation, is situated in a region which has the greatest concentration of Fortune 500 corporate headquarters in the nation, and is close to New York, the financial services capital of the world.
