Finance

Finance takes a big-picture look at the world of business. As a finance major at Linfield, you will learn by doing: ride the ups and downs of the stock market as you learn how to analyze real-time data, build your own high-performance portfolio as part of a class, and visit an investment firm on-site. Whether you are drawn to work at a nonprofit, for-profit or within a small business, studies in finance will connect your classroom coursework to real-life applications.
