As the centerpiece of the 18,000-square-foot complex, the PNC Business Center provides hands-on training in financial trading strategy. It has research applications that expand the financial literacy of students, faculty, and the broader community. Funded by a grant from the PNC Foundation, this distinctive, glass-encased center is a fully functional trading room similar to the NYSE with real-time stock tickers, market information, and analytical software. Faculty will incorporate the center into several courses, giving students a powerful educational experience transcending the traditional classroom.
