Investing at Cornell is an interdisciplinary theme that connects faculty and students across the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business and Cornell University who are interested in studying, researching, and working in the field of investments.
With a broad representation of thought leaders and resources dedicated to research, academic excellence, and industry relevance, the Investing at Cornell thematic area aims to provide students with the experiences, networks, and tools needed to develop skills and insights that will position them for success.

Coursework
The SC Johnson College’s three schools and its university partnerships each offer resources, coursework, student clubs, and events related to investing and asset management—united under the Investing at Cornell theme, these offerings are amplified and can reach a wider audience. Investing at Cornell also connects the business college with expertise in the College of Engineering by way of the Master in Engineering with Financial Concentration program. Together, all of these entities offer support to undergraduate and graduate students as they prepare to enter the field of investments, and faculty and staff across Cornell can work together sooner as they discover synergies among their investment research and initiatives.
