Finance Program Highlights
As a Finance major at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, you will gain real world experience through internship opportunities. You’ll have access to institutional connections with business leaders in the Columbus area, throughout central Ohio, and beyond.
At MVNU, faith isn’t just part of the experience — it’s the foundation. From prayer in the classroom to engaging Scripture and exploring real-world ethical questions, every moment is designed to help you grow. Here, your education goes beyond knowledge — it shapes who you are becoming.
Our travel and study-abroad programs offer opportunities to grow in your faith while experiencing new cultures and serving communities both across the U.S. and internationally. Through these experiences, you’ll deepen your compassion, explore your calling, and build meaningful skills for your résumé. For example, the Belize Clean Water Coalition partners with MVNU students to address unsafe drinking water in three villages in Belize, where business students travel to educate children and adults on the importance of clean water and sustainable practices.
