Elevate Accounting, Economics, and Finance

Elevating Opportunity & In-Demand Skills

At FCB, Accounting, Economics, and Finance are housed together—but each program is its own world of opportunity. What they share is a commitment to small classes, meaningful faculty connections, and a focus on practical, in-demand skills. Whether you're drawn to analyzing markets, managing portfolios, or decoding financial statements, you’ll find a program that’s real, relevant, and ready to help you grow. 

Our students might be managing a $9 million investment fund, analyzing local economic policy, or mastering tax codes with the help of faculty who know them by name.
