BS in Finance

At the Kogod School of Business, Experience Matters. 

We believe in learning by doing. Kogod's programs are firmly grounded in experiential learning, giving you the real-world skills you need to develop or advance your business expertise. Students at Kogod complete hands-on projects, attend networking and speaking events, and work with leading DC companies. Our faculty, many of whom are noted experts in their fields, boast decades of experience as professors and practitioners. 

The Full time MBA is an immersive program which allows students to complete core courses in the first year, leaving the second year open to electives, including a recommended consulting focus. Students may pursue a consulting focus through a predetermined sequence of courses, or may choose to explore the other exemplary business-focused electives Kogod has to offer, in topics from marketing to entrepreneurship to finance.

Postgraduate students at the Kogod School of Business have a range of courses to choose from, including master's in analytics, finance and sustainability management. The school's selection of specialized master's degrees sees it included in the 2018 edition of the QS Business Master's Ranking. Analytics students can expect to learn how to use data to solve business challenges, while also learning about evidence-based data gathering, data modeling and quantitative analysis. It's considered an ideal degree for anyone interested in working in business intelligence, financial analysis, marketing or consulting. Finance students will receive ideal preparation for either the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) or Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) certification, as well as many others. This course benefits from small class sizes and an experiential approach to learning. The school's master's in sustainability management is the only program of its type at a business school in the DC metro area and provides students with a multi-faceted understanding of the environmental and international issues surrounding sustainability in business in the modern age.
