You can join our real investment group, the Saluki Student Investment Fund, making investment decisions and managing a $1 million portfolio for the SIU Foundation.

You can also experience real-time, technologically advanced simulation of commodities and financial trading in our Burnell D. Kraft Trading Room. Kraft, an alumnus of our College of Business and senior vice president of Archer Daniels Midland Company, provided funding to give our students their very own “Wall Street.” Thanks to Kraft and other generous donors, we added eight Bloomberg terminals that give you up-to-the-second news and financial information.

This assures that when you graduate, you will have valuable expertise and training with a key tool utilized by internationally successfully financial firms.

YOU CAN SPECIALIZEWe offer three specializations to help you decide which avenue in the financial field is right for you: financial management, financial institutions, and investments.

If you are seeking a career within various corporate financial areas such as budgeting, cash flow forecasting and financial analysis, the financial management program offers the right preparation. The financial institutions specialization focuses on the intermediary functions that take place in banking, real estate and financial markets. If becoming a Certified Financial Planner, broker, stock analyst or if focusing on security analysis interests you, you’ll want to check out our investments concentration. Whichever career path you select, we’ve got the specialization to take you where you want to go.
