Inside the Program

The Koch Global Trading Center lets students learn about the Stock Market in real-life scenarios.

High-tech trading center brings Stock Market to life

There's a big difference between listening to a finance professor talk about how markets work and being able to see those markets work in real time.

The Koch Global Trading Center in Woolsey Hall allows you to participate in real-time financial simulations based on the Stock Market. The center features a 60-foot long digital financial ticker that displays live market data.

You'll be prepared with the knowledge and skills to immediately enter the workforce upon graduation.
