Academic Information

The finance function, practiced at the personal or organizational level, private and public, is an integral part of the resource allocation process in a well-functioning economy. Through course work that blends theory and practice, the Department of Finance provides students with the background and skills necessary to meet the ever-increasing complexity and demands of today's product and capital markets. Keeping with the university's Jesuit tradition, Santa Clara's program examines how ethics and finance shape each other; and the role Santa Clara students, as future business leaders, will play in this process.
