Economic and Financial Systems

Economic and Financial Systems

Women represent the fastest growing sector of entrepreneurs and leaders in the global economy. The Economic and Financial Systems program at PMC educates women to assume leadership in this changing world and to effectively balance professional and social responsibility with fulfilling personal and family lives.

Built on a liberal arts foundation, the B.A. in Economic and Financial Systems is a multidisciplinary major. It combines the study of accounting, finance, and economics with practical applications of the principles of inclusive leadership and social responsibility. Students build a base in these disciplines using modern technologies and pedagogies. The emphasis of this major is on developing skills in critical thinking, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and oral and written communication.

Boston-area internships allow students to explore specific interests while gaining work experience. Use of the cross-registration program with Babson and Boston College further expands educational opportunities.
