Key Summary
Introduction
Following a core set of courses that are common to all business majors (Business Administration, Management, etc), students branch out into their major subjects (see below). Students often pursue internships at the end of their second or third year — a unique opportunity arising from strong ties to the local business community in Geneva.
Many of the courses that make up the Finance and Economics majors are taught across the global Webster network of campuses, and all business majors are encouraged to consider a Study Abroad experience. This gives students the opportunity to gain a truly global perspective while advancing toward graduation with their major course requirements.

Curriculum
As a Finance major, you’ll learn from expert faculty with global experience, like Dr. Fabio de Castro, who teaches Investments and is an expert on financial markets, derivatives and asset management. Previously, de Castro was in business development and marketing positions at Unilever and IFF (International Flavors and Fragrances) in Brazil, France, Spain and Singapore.
You’ll learn about commodities, trade finance, digital economy, the energy sector and international economics from a leading expert, Dr. Rouben Indjikian, who worked nearly 30 years at UNCTAD where, as an economist and manager, he was in charge of analysis, policy advice and technical assistance in the areas of international trade, finance, and e-commerce. His course on the Digital Economy is a popular elective in the program.
Students interested by Entrepreneurial aspects of financial management can also take our Certificate in Entrepreneurship as part of their degree program.
Career Opportunities
The Finance and Economics majors at Webster Geneva Campus are designed for students who are looking for a personal, rigorous business education that leads to: entry-level positions in financial, managerial and administrative areas of companies in the private sector or similar public sector roles; or entry into graduate and professional schools of business, economics, law and social sciences. Courses are taught by PhD faculty who are highly qualified and renowned experts, many of whom publish articles and books in their respective fields.
