Finance

Here, you’ll learn by doing. With hands-on opportunities in one of the world’s financial hubs, you’ll gain the skills and experiences employers seek. You’ll be just a subway ride away from Wall Street and world-class internships at top companies, from global financial firms to hedge fund startups and everything in between. 

And in addition to the lively energy of New York City, you’ll have a tight-knit, supportive campus community, eager for you to thrive.

Beyond the fundamentals of investment and economic analysis, you might dive into specific areas with courses like Real Estate Finance, where you’ll study the financial structuring of the market and mortgage banking, or Global Investments, where you’ll learn the ins and outs of international currency and purchasing power. You can also complement your major with concentrations in alternative investments or value investing.

With New York City as your college town, you’ll have unmatched access to some of the biggest names in business, media, finance, and more. Here are just some of the places finance majors have interned:

• Goldman Sachs
• Merrill Lynch
• JPMorgan Chase
• Citigroup
• KPMG
• EY

As a finance major, you’ll be prepared for careers in investment management, global banking, corporate finance, and more. Resources like the Gabelli School’s Personal and Professional Development Center will help connect you to opportunities as a student—and after you graduate.

At Fordham, you’ll use AI as a tool to enhance your learning. Our program will equip you with the skills to navigate the ever-changing landscape of AI in the workforce.

As a finance student, you’ll learn how to use AI to enhance your work through courses like Artificial Intelligence in Financial Markets, which connects you with industry experts in New York City. As finance is increasingly being transformed by AI, you’ll examine how these advances are reshaping markets and financial strategy, preparing you for high-growth roles in AI risk management, quantitative analysis, and more.

You’ll also be able to earn credentials and paid micro-internships through IBM SkillsBuild’s Getting Started with AI course. All Fordham students and graduates have access to AI training through RamConnect, the University’s alumni and experiential learning platform.

Above all, you’ll learn skills that can’t be replaced by AI, such as critical thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence, and integrity.
