Finance faculty member Brian Thompson (MBA ’13, DBA ’19) stands behind students in the Keeley Finance Lab.
The Driehaus College of Business has been designated a Bloomberg Experiential Learning Partner, joining a select group of colleges recognized for offering students practical learning experiences using the Bloomberg Terminal, a powerful analytics tool widely used by business and government decision-makers. Most of DePaul’s 20 Bloomberg Terminals are in the Christopher L. Keeley Finance Lab, where students use them for finance classwork, investing competitions, career research and Bloomberg Market Concepts certification.
This experience gives them a competitive edge when seeking internships and full-time work, says Thomas Berry, chair of the Department of Finance & Real Estate. “When students can say they are Bloomberg-proficient, it’s a signal to employers that they know how to do certain types of research and have tech skills that are sought after in the market.”
