Overview

The Finance - Risk Management programme from William Paterson University helps students learn how to minimize and control the exposure of investments to such financial risks as high inflation, volatility in capital markets, recession and bankruptcy. With an introduction to risk diversification and measurement, portfolio theory, statistics, programming finance models in statistical software and Excel skills, students can apply knowledge to trading and risk, interest and inflation rate models and hedging strategies while performing statistical analysis about investments, financial derivatives, fixed income securities and financial institutions.

Career

Students in economics, finance, and global business study in small classes, taught by faculty with significant industry experience who are recognized experts in their fields. They also gain real-world experience through internships, mentoring, and other professional enrichment activities.

Business students also benefit from the sophisticated resources in the Cotsakos College of Business, including the Global Business and Finance Institute, an active trading room that brings the world financial markets to campus.

For students looking to enter careers in investment advice or wealth management, our financial planning degree programme allows graduates to sit for the CFP® exam.
