Messiah College announces the Ralph S. Larsen Finance Lab
Messiah College is excited to announce the brand new Ralph S. Larsen Finance Lab, coming August 2017!
To prepare students for exciting careers in finance, the construction of the Ralph S. Larsen Finance Lab will equip students with state-of-the-art technology and market data in a Wall Street trading floor atmosphere. Students will become proficient with how to use a Bloomberg terminal to research historical and real-time data on stocks, bonds, economic indicators, foreign currencies, commodities and options.
The Ralph S. Larsen Finance Lab will contain 26 computer workstations with dual monitors and instructor podium; 10 Bloomberg Professional terminals; three large-screen televisions showing CNBC, Bloomberg and other financial markets media; and a stock ticker continuously displaying market information.
Finance majors will participate in the annual Bloomberg Trading Challenge, a nationwide stock-trading simulation where teams have $10 million to invest for two months based on a defined trading strategy they develop on Bloomberg terminals.
