Program Overview

Through Endicott’s finance program, you'll learn to connect economic theories to real-world applications. You will study corporate and international finance, and a wide range of subdisciplines, including investment, cost control, financial modeling, and risk management. You’ll learn how macroeconomic and market conditions guide business decision making, and will become conversant in the language and tools that financial managers use.

Our program’s coursework and internships will prepare you to launch a career in any facet of the financial sector—including banking, insurance and brokerage firms, or the corporate world—or will provide you with a solid foundation for pursuing a graduate degree, including an MBA.
