Experience that speaks any employer’s language.

Finance is the common language of the business world, and here at Susquehanna, we teach you to converse like a pro. Step right into the finance industry with the real-world skills you will gain in Susquehanna’s elite program. Guaranteed international internships and practical experience prepare you for a career as an analyst, in investor relations or as a financial adviser.

As an undergraduate, you will gain hands-on experience in our state-of-the-art investment research lab with 12 Bloomberg terminals, which allow you to analyze financial markets in real-time. Plus, you can refine your trading skills by investing real university funds in the stock market through the River Hawk Investment Fund.

Susquehanna’s finance degree is one of the few worldwide certified by the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute, offering a premier opportunity to advance early in your career. You can fully prepare for the CFA® Level 1 exam as you learn three-quarters of the test material by your senior year. You also have a chance to participate in the CFA Institute’s research challenge, a global competition that provides intensive training in financial analysis and professional ethics.
