Teaching finance to non-finance majors: Challenges of an integrated curriculum

File pdf 436KB

While all functional areas are important for business success, we have found that many students major in more qualitative areas of business (e.g. management, marketing) often due to an aversion to using quantitative skills they feel they lack.

In this session, we present tools and resources we have used to make students more comfortable with key finance-topics for use across classes, both MBA and undergraduate, especially those not specifically finance-oriented (e.g., Business Policy & Strategy; Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management; Healthcare Management). We invite participants to share their tools and resources to create an organically growing online repository of best-practices.
