Business and Finance Courses

These programs, developed by Cornell University faculty, are designed primarily for professionals who are not financial managers or cost accountants, but who are looking to develop and sharpen their financial acumen. The courses connect the principles of finance, accounting, and economics with the departmental activities of the rest of the organization. When you understand these connections, your decisions, proposals, and explanations will not only be better informed, they’ll be better received.
