Assistant Professor of Finance Anthony Annan said he sees his students–even those without a finance background– all of sudden “showing a lot of interest in finance because they can see in real time how some decisions can be made.”

The Bloomberg Terminal’s software provides real-time and historical data, market moving news and analytics to help leading business and financial professionals and government officials worldwide make better informed business and investment decisions. The service also features execution platforms for every asset class, research, and a global network to communicate securely and reliably.The University’s subscriptions to the Bloomberg Terminal serve as a resource for both students and professors.
