Finance Program

Requirements for the Minor

The finance minor is designed to offer students the best of two worlds — a concentration in their “home” academic discipline, combined with a strong understanding of financial markets, analysis and decision making.

The minor offers a broad offering of courses ranging from the psychology of financial decision making to the workings of investment funds and corporate finance, and from the role of banking and financial institutions to social impact investing.

This minor is open to all Brandeis undergraduates.
