The Department of Finance is the most popular core department of Carroll School of Management and even the whole Boston College, and it is also the discipline with the largest number of overseas applicants all year round. It has outstanding advantages in quantitative finance, capital market investment, enterprise financing management and financial risk control, and its professional teaching level and industry influence are firmly in the forefront of similar majors in the United States.
The department offers rich undergraduate and postgraduate professional courses. The undergraduate stage focuses on laying the foundation of financial basic knowledge and market operation logic, and opens practical courses such as financial data analysis and investment portfolio simulation. The postgraduate stage is more inclined to in-depth research in segmented fields, covering international financial market research, cross-border capital flow analysis, financial derivatives research and other hot directions, which is very in line with the learning needs of international students who plan to engage in global financial work.
Most of the teachers in the department have working experience in top financial institutions or long-term research experience in financial market trends. They are familiar with the operation rules of global mainstream financial markets and can combine real market data and typical investment cases to carry out teaching. The department regularly holds financial industry salons, global investment trend analysis meetings and enterprise financial project exchange activities, and maintains close cooperative relations with many Wall Street financial institutions and international investment groups, providing overseas students with high-quality internship, employment and academic exchange channels.
