Earn a Bloomberg certification
Earning a Bloomberg certification is a great way to dive deeper into finance, and there are several paths. As an undergraduate, you'll earn your BMC certification just by taking Introduction to Business (BUSN 1101), where it's built right into the course. Graduate students can gain certification through select classes that integrate Bloomberg training into the curriculum. And if you're part of the 360 Huntington Fund, you'll typically complete the certification as part of that immersive, real-world investing experience.

I earned my Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) Certification through my Portfolio Management class. In the financial world, Bloomberg is utilized on a daily basis. I have used it at every job. Very few people though, are actually “certified.” My certification will benefit me throughout my career.”
