Business & Finance Student Testimonials

Yang Siyuan“I did not know much about business and finance before so I was not that interested in this major. But after I took the classes, especially  Foundations of Finance, I found it attracted me. During the process of choosing a major, I also took classes in other majors, such as IMA and Humanities. They were also interesting to me but not as much as Business and Finance. So I think it’s better to take different kinds of classes before claiming a major.” – Siyuan Yang, Class of 2018

“All I knew about Business & Finance beforehand was that it is the most popular major not only at NYUSH but also at many other universities. However this Xiang-Shancannot be the reason for me to decide my major. I love Business & Finance because it is the combination of rational calculation and social interaction. You can deal with documents and at the same time you can learn how to communicate with different people. The courses in B&F are varied and start from fundamental courses. We are taking finance, marketing, and so on. We can have a brief idea about the business world and what I like most is that I understand the life I live better from what I have learned since B&F is really the social science to tell the story of the business world.” – Shan Xiang, Class of 2018

Li Chenghao“I used to read many books about Business & Finance, especially Financial Mathematics. After entering NYU Shanghai, I engaged myself into many major exploring activities in order to learn more about different majors. I also participated in many outschool activities in order to find my academic interests. For Business & Finance, I think the most important thing is to know why you choose it as a major and what your specific academic interest in this field.” – Chenghao Li, Class of 2019
