Major in Finance

In an effort to improve the quality and depth of the finance major, the Undergraduate Management Program has made a number of modifications. The revised major will provide Simmons College graduates with a unique skill set - a broad exposure to a general business curriculum, an in-depth concentration in the major areas in the field of finance, and a firm grounding in traditional liberal arts.
