Bachelor in Finanzen

Build a career-ready portfolio

You’ll step right into a finance career with the real-world skills you gain at Susquehanna to work as an analyst, in investor relations, or as a financial adviser.

We have a state-of-the-art investment research lab with 11 Bloomberg terminals, an exception for a school our size. Bloomberg terminals allow you to analyze the financial market in real-time. You’ll also learn about placing and tracking trades by investing real university funds in the stock market through the River Hawk Investment Fund.

Less than 4% of business schools worldwide are recognized as a CFA Institute Affiliated University. As one of those few institutions, Susquehanna provides scholarships to help you cover the costly CFA® Level 1 exam. Because we cover nearly three-quarters of test material in class, you’ll be ready to take the exam right out of the gate after graduation or even in your senior year!

You also have a chance to participate in the CFA Institute’s research challenge, a global competition that gives our students intensive training in financial analysis and professional ethics.

Trade like a Pro

Gain practical experience for your business career in a fun, interactive setting — our trading room features 11 Bloomberg terminals with specialized keyboards, double-screen displays, and professional investment software.

Using the same technology as the world’s leading banks, corporations, and government agencies, you’ll learn to utilize leading indicators, research, and news in real-time. You’ll evaluate economic scenarios and place trades while you gain insight into how financial markets impact the global economy.

By earning a coveted Bloomberg Certification through your coursework, you’ll have a huge advantage over your peers when you search for undergraduate internships and employment after college.

Our students thrive, and you will too, as you are mentored by professors who are both experts in their fields and exceptional teachers. Coursework at Susquehanna is intense — you will enjoy personalized attention from your faculty as they help you learn and develop the skills you need to be a job and/or graduate school ready.

Many schools talk about study abroad but at Susquehanna, everyone does it. We are nationally recognized for our commitment to global experiences and cultural competence through our innovative Global Opportunities (GO) program.
