Business management, Finance 

Finance students are in high demand for professional internships with major corporations and businesses of all sizes. You will also have the opportunity to participate in portfolio simulations so that you can manage funds in the real world with a competitive advantage.

Not only do finance students learn from top faculty, they also benefit from visiting scholars and guest speakers in the classroom and during special events by the department, college, and the Accounting Club.

Gain real-world experience through the Ralph Jaeschke Solutions for Economic Growth Center (SEG), a campus partnership with area businesses and nonprofit organizations. Under the direction of faculty, students help solve business challenges, allowing them to expand upon what they learn in the classroom. The work provides a cost-effective solution for medium and small-sized  organizations.

Within SEG are specialty centers:

• Information Technology Practice Center
• Operations Management Specialty Center
• and Accounting and Finance Specialty Center

It's difficult to learn from a textbook how business is conducted outside of the U.S. The Global Education Center (GEC) evolved as a means to:

• provide students with first-hand experience through international study
• bring international experts and scholars to campus
• provide faculty members with opportunities to study abroad
• and recruit international students to Parkside.
