Clubs
Finance Club
The Hough Graduate Finance Club was established to enhance the financial exposure of all MBAs in the Hough Graduate School of Business. Our club is designed to give students a forum to discuss current financial market conditions as well as strategies for applying finance and investment ideas. The Finance Club is also an active supporter of the Finance Professional Speaker Series presented by the Finance Department. As members of the club, our mission is to attend the series and represent the MBA program by asking engaging questions, speaking with professionals, and fostering a strong relationship between the Finance Department and the MBA program.

Marketing Club
The MBA Marketing Club is dedicated to providing a fun, educational experience that allows students to feel confident in their understanding of the marketing world by filling in the “gaps” that exist between the academic and working world. This experience encompasses everything from market research to advertisements that drive consumers toward promoted products. We learn about these aspects of marketing through case studies/competitions, experienced guest speakers, lively discussions and hands-on experience with analysis tools and product comparisons.
