Finance is one of the most high-demand programs at Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business. And no wonder. Where better to study finance than at a highly respected business school with strong connections to the most prominent financial services firms in New York City, the global financial capital? We emphasize analytical techniques and the understanding of the economic environment influencing day-to-day and long-term financial decisions. The department offers a range of intensive classes, special programs, and stellar internships-and a solid foundation in the humanities. The result: a premier education that prepares you to take a leading role in finance-and to have a fulfilling life outside of work. Finance is the beating heart of New York City, but a Jesuit education is the soul of the Fordham experience. When you study finance with us, you learn more than the value of a dollar. You learn values. You take classes with business leaders-and with moral thinkers. Beyond finance, you’ll study philosophy, theology, history, mathematics, languages, science, and other performing arts through Fordham’s common core curriculum, the centerpiece of our liberal arts education. Our finance curriculum prepares you for a future in: Corporate finance: investment and financing decisions of business firms and nonprofit organizations Investment management: evaluation of securities and portfolio management Financial institutions: commercial banks, insurance companies, and other institutions Gabelli School of Business students have the option to pursue a secondary concentration in alternative investments. Coursework in this sub-area of finance covers private equity, venture capital, hard assets, commodities, real estate investment management and hedge fund investing. Students complete three courses to earn the secondary concentration. First, by the end of the fall term of their senior year, they take two of these four: Hedge Funds Real Estate Finance Venture Capital Private Equity Then, in the spring of their senior year, they apply for and receive approval to take a research-based capstone course called Alternative Investment Strategies. This course focuses on the more esoteric aspects of alternative investing and on additional alternative assets that are not covered in standalone courses, such as timber, collectibles, managed futures and commodities.
