Finance

Finance is at the core of business around the globe. Studying the framework and theories of corporate finance and the financial markets prepares students to become Wall Street insiders, launch their own companies, and build wealth for people and communities worldwide.

Kean students benefit from the University's proximity to the financial capital of the world — New York City — which provides opportunities for internships, mentoring, and learning experiences outside the classroom.

Our program continuously evolves to align with industry standards, best practices and the latest technology, so finance majors are ready to begin their business careers or pursue a master's degree after graduation.

Outside of Residence Hall Building

Why am I at Kean? Because Kean has very small class sizes, and I’m not a fan of lecture-based instruction. Also, my mentor told me to study what I am good at. Numbers have always come naturally to me, so that’s why I chose finance.
