Finance
Maine Business School
Students focus on financial decision-making in a corporate environment, the functioning of financial markets and institutions, methods of financing business operations, and security selection and portfolio management. The Gerard S. Cassidy ’80 Capital Markets Training Laboratory features a Bloomberg terminal that provides real-time and historical price information and analysis of equities, fixed income securities, derivatives contracts, and foreign exchange rates.
Finance majors focus on three general areas:
Recent graduates have pursued careers in financial management in business, management and nonprofit organizations, commercial and investment banking, and brokerage. Graduates are prepared to advance rapidly in their field. Many of our Finance students double major in the Maine Business School or choose to double major in Financial Economics.
Our finance students are very involved in their student-run organization: the Student Portfolio Investment Fund (SPIFFY). This group currently manages more than $4.2 million in assets and offers leadership positions for undergraduates.
Recent MBS graduates have gone on to work at organizations such as IDEXX, Bangor Savings Bank, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Unum, TD Bank, Baker Newman Noyes, WEX, Tyler Technologies, L.L. Bean, Fidelity Investments, Wayfair, Northern Light Health, Enterprise Holdings, and State Street Bank, to name a few.
