Traditional classroom settings

Many colleges and universities offer courses of study in business, economics, and finance. However, the coursework is aimed at preparing the student for the professional world. They are not designed or intended to teach a student how to trade in the stock market, although the introductory/basic courses would provide a good basic foundation of knowledge. Those intending to follow the professional stockbroker career path usually begin their education by obtaining a degree in business, economics, or finance.
Some of the core subjects covered by an undergraduate education during the course of a financial/business college education are:
Basic marketing
Business communication
Business ethics
Financial accounting
Macroeconomics
Mathematics
Microeconomics
Real estate
