What our Finance Alumni are saying:
"I value enormously the relationships I developed with my professors. A few classmates and I successfully launched a financial literacy initiative on campus “Jeff Invest”. Our professors assisted us with promotion, resources, connections, etc. I advise anyone interested in pursuing a business degree at Jefferson to cultivate genuine relationships with your professors. They truly care about student success and professional growth." — Michael Rodriguez ‘21
"My first internship before my junior year was with Verizon’s Finance Leadership Development Program. My first semester as a junior I interned at Ameriprise Financial, and my second semester at John E. McGovern Associates. Jefferson (formely known as Philadelphia University) has helped me succeed in these internships by challenging and pushing me to gain more knowledge in the business world in my classes." — Alexandra Bruno '16 - Director of Finance, Delta Phi Epsilon
"The business school professors play a key role in the success of my career—they helped shape my aspirations, they influenced how I navigated career opportunities and challenged me to have a broad and global perspective. The real-life application was most valuable. I am grateful for the relationships I built with my professors, who became some of my greatest advocates as I entered the real world." — Rebecca Kennedy '09, Finance Director, Vanguard
