Cornell prepares you for these careers through two approaches to studying business and the economy. The first approach goes wide. In both the broad economics and business major (ECB) and in the business management track (BMM), students uncover the logic of markets and see their applications across a wide range of business settings. ECB students discover how markets work. When do markets fail? What are the triggers that jolt the global economy and the balance sheets of individual businesses? BMM students explore the management of people, information, and financial assets.

The second approach offers specialized paths to career readiness. Cornell?s Finance, Business Analytics, Personnel Management, and Actuarial Science tracks prepare students for functional roles within organizations, both for-profit and non-profit. You will learn how to develop dashboards of key performance indicators, manage financial risk, and evaluate business strategies. You won?t do this alone, but in close collaboration with other students, faculty and staff, and business partners. Our distinctive business and management offerings prepare you for a professional future.
