The Faculty strives to provide us with the tools to give us a competitive edge and to keep us informed about current academic, professional, and ethical matters.

As a Finance and International Trade graduate from the Universidad del Rosario, I can attest to the economic analysis skills developed in the program, which are key to understanding finance and trade. In addition, my specialization in finance gave me a broad overview of the different applications of this science in the workplace and the opportunities available for my development as a finance professional.
I am very grateful for the effort that the faculty's leadership and administrative staff put in each semester to improve the quality of the program and the study resources that enable all students to enhance their professional development. I am also grateful to the professors for sharing their knowledge with us and for always being willing to teach us. Without a doubt, their experience makes them experts in economics and finance. They are role models for all the students in the faculty.
I will always have fond memories of my university, its history, its places, its professors and, of course, my faculty, which provided me with the best training as a finance professional.
