Wall Street Journal Offer

Hi CCB majors (and any other students who are interested).

You can get the Wall Street Journal, delivered for $29.95 for 15 weeks, $49.95 for 26 weeks or $99.95 for 52 weeks.  These are amazing savings off the newsstand price.  For example, the 15 week price is a savings of $101.30 while the 52 week price is a savings of $355!

You can also add Barons for $16.00 for 15 weeks.  The benefits of reading the WSJ are truly great!  I have been reading the journal since before I graduated from college.  Did you know that students who subscribe are 76% more likely to earn a GPA of 3.5 or higher, 46% more likely to be prepared for job interviews, and 140% more likely to be starting a full-time job upon graduation.

Years ago when I was studying for professional exams such as the CMA, ChFC, and CFM, and when I took the series 7 and 63 exams (registered representatives - investments), I found that the knowledge I picked up from the WJS was invaluable.  Accounting majors thinking of taking the CPA exam someday should start reading the WSJ now so that you can broaden and deepen your general business knowledge.  MBA students need the journal.  No doubt about it.  At very high quality schools, there are upwards of 1,000 undergrads reading the WSJ.  Wonder why?  They want to get ahead!

If you would like to take advantage of these special rates, email me (mgriffin@umassd.edu) the following information:

For students doing or thinking of doing an internship, the WSJ is a great habit as it will give you an exposure to current events and real world stuff that you might have trouble getting elsewhere.  The WSJ will help you in job interviews and conversations with the boss and co-workers.  It will give you a background to draw upon in class and certainly will provide you with lots of ideas for investing whether you are playing a stock market simulation game as part of a class, participating in an investment club, or getting ready to invest those big bucks you are going yo make on the job.
