“Philadelphia University’s Finance Program provides an interactive environment conducive to building relationships with professors and fellow students. Opportunities abound that link students to the world of finance through such organizations as the Financial Management Association International.

Students have the best of both worlds – the academic and real-world – when speakers renowned in the field of finance speak on campus and networking experiences with alumni bring the day-to-day functions of the finance world to life.

Here, students become a member of a community of faculty and students globally known for their expertise in the field. Learning how to take the “bull by the horns” and the “bear by its tail” in the study of the stock market is a fascinating look at the intricacies of business.

At Philadelphia University, we recognize the impact of globalization and technology on the field of finance and the curriculum is strategically designed to provide a stepping- stone to a wide range of career options including CFA, CFP, licensed stock broker, banker, corporate treasurer or mergers and acquisitions specialist.”
