Afinance degree from Isenberg employs a rigorous and balanced curriculum to serve the needs of the financial industry. Students learn how to raise debt and equity capital, evaluate profitability and riskiness of projects, value small businesses and large corporations, and make traditional and alternative investments in global financial markets.
The expansive and rigorous curriculum with an honors capstone sequence provides many choices and opportunities for students to specialize in one or more of four different concentrations: Corporate Finance, Financial Analyst, Risk Management, and Alternative Investments. The curriculum is guided though our academic partnerships with the leading professional designations such as the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and the Chartered Alternative Investments Analyst (CAIA).
Internships at firms like JP Morgan, State Street, Merrill Lynch, Fidelity Investments, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, John Hancock, BNY-Melon and numerous other banks and companies are a key experiential learning component of the finance undergraduate program at Isenberg. These highly sought after internships expose our students to the real world issues and challenges. Close to three quarters of finance students graduate with at least one internship experience and more than one third graduate with two internship experiences.
Finance students at Isenberg use Bloomberg terminals to seamlessly access a wealth of real-time and historical data on financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, currencies, and derivatives, and financial institutions such as banks, hedge funds, mutual funds, and pension funds. Donated by Babson Capital, the twelve Bloomberg terminals are a critical resource for the four student-run clubs: The Finance Society, The Investment Club, The Minuteman Equity Fund, and The Minuteman Fixed Income Fund.
Finance students learn real world money management skills by managing the student-run Minutemen family of funds. Students can be invited into these funds: Minutemen Equity Fund, Minutemen Fixed Income Fund and the Minutemen Alternative Investments Fund. Fund activities include, fund administration, making investments, doing peer interviews, running student-run courses in stock and bond selection, writing analyst reports, and producing periodic newsletters in equities and fixed income.
Open to Isenberg students, the Real Estate Certificate program helps prepare students for possible careers as a Real Estate Financial Analyst, Investor, Acquisitions Analyst, Sales Agent, or Lending professional.

In the fall semester, our 10-week stock pitch seminar series educates members on the basics of developing a stock pitch thesis as well as valuing a company. In the Spring semester, members can continue to build both their fundamental and technical skills by participating in the Spring research teams.
The Isenberg Pitch Conference was built on student initiative to build relationships, networks, and expand business acumen in the field of finance. The one-day competition is an exceptional way for teams of students to research and pitch stock. Judges from top firms such as Fidelity, Black Rock, Wellington Management, and Goldman Sachs challenge the students with questions to provide more depth and analysis into their pitches. The purpose of the competition is to promote student research of the current standings of stocks and present their investments in a way that would make real investors feel that they would be making a sturdy financial decision.

We want to hear from you! Support IT decision makers by providing your feedback on Oracle Identity and Access Management solutions. Your feedback is extremely valuable in guiding the future of Oracle IAM. Please consider spending 15 minutes to complete an anonymous Gartner Peer Insights Review.
Organizations with strict regulatory requirements, such as HIPAA, GDPR, and FedRAMP, can reduce the burden of disjointed and manual certification campaigns. Access Governance allows organizations to quickly set up periodic certification campaigns, event-based microcertifications, time-driven microcertifications, or OCI IAM policy and group membership reviews. Each campaign spans on-premises and cloud applications and cloud infrastructure entitlements. Access Governance provides managers and administrators with a single view of the information needed to determine if they should maintain or revoke access, including prescriptive recommendations with analytic insights.
When used in hybrid mode, Access Governance with Oracle Identity Governance 12c allows managers to renew or revoke access entitlements via a direct connection to Oracle Identity Governance. The native integration with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) allows OCI IAM policy reviews and remediation with zero data migration effort. Cross-system integrations save time by eliminating manual, error-prone processes between heterogeneous environments, allowing organizations to respond faster to security risks.
"With our transition to a cloud-based governance solution, Oracle Access Governance presents an appealing option for streamlining user access reviews, providing enterprisewide visibility into access permissions, ensuring zero migration effort, and offering insight-driven analytics. We believe it has the potential to enhance our IT security and efficiency, making it a worthwhile solution for organizations exploring cloud governance platforms."
"As we steer our path towards the adoption of a cloud native governance architecture, Oracle Access Governance rises as a critical player in this arena. Its strategic design, emphasizing intuitive user access review, prescriptive analytics powered by data insights, and automated remediation, echoes our commitment to fostering a secure IT environment. This cloud native service aligns perfectly with our forward-looking IT security strategy, and we are eager to explore its potential."
"The unified identity and access management services from Oracle will address the needs of our customers. Service such as Oracle Access Governance that can bring certifications to the cloud with intelligence will help our customers alleviate the fatigue of managing their fragmented environments. Today every cloud service has its own disconnected certification process, so it is great that Oracle is going to offer it as one solution that can manage all of their applications."
"Oracle Access Governance offers the capabilities we need to meet our strategic business and security requirements, including intuitive access reviews, through a user-friendly and productive user interface, robust analytics, and automated remediation powered by advanced machine learning technologies. This cloud native service supports our commitment to building a secure and cost-effective IT environment for our employees, students, and businesses. Because it can seamlessly connect to our existing identity governance and administration solution and other investments on-premises and in the cloud, Oracle Access Governance is a pivotal asset for our identity governance strategy."
