Why a Finance Degree from Le Moyne College?

Consider the literally millions of transactions that occur around the world each day tied in some way to finance: a realtor finalizes a home sale... a stock price fluctuates... signatures seal the deal on a commercial loan application... corporate bonds are issued... new companies launch and existing companies declare bankruptcy.

These and countless other moments don't happen on their own. They were the result of smart, forward-thinking individuals who have chosen a career in finance. The innermost workings of successful businesses rely on a firm financial foundation, and companies count on those in finance roles -- such as analysts and planners, business advisors, stockbrokers, investor relations associates and the like -- to chart their course.
