Curious how companies make money, why markets move, and what careers exist in business? In this hands-on class from the MIT Sloan Business Club, you’ll explore what a business is, how markets and competition work (Porter’s 5 Forces, SWOT), and the basics of investing (stocks vs. bonds, time value of money, risk). We will also map real career paths in consulting, finance, and entrepreneurship. No prior experience needed—just bring your questions and energy!

So you’ve heard about finance... but what does that ~actually~ mean? Come join our team of Sloan Business Club members to learn about general finance topics in an interactive 50-min session. After a brief lecture introducing you to the world of finance, you will engage in small groups with one of our members who will provide you with some tools to conduct simple analyses on potential investments.
