Bloomberg is a computer system for professionals in business (primarily finance) and other industries to access, monitor and analyze real-time financial market data and place trades on its electronic trading platform. The system also provides up-to-date news, price quotes and messaging across its network.

Our Bloomberg subscription allows students to:

• Monitor real-time financial market changes and their effects
• Track financial market news
• Compare stocks and company information
• Access industry overviews
• Track foreign exchange, gold and oil trade information
• And much more

After logging into the computer with your GSU username and password and launching the Bloomberg application, new users must create their own Bloomberg user ID to log in. To do so from the Bloomberg terminal, hit the button from the front page of the Bloomberg application, then click on Create a New Login and follow the on-screen instructions. You will need to either receive a text message or an automated call during this process to validate your username and ID, so please have a cell phone with you.

Students who wish to watch videos on the terminals are responsible for bringing their own headset.

Bloomberg Market Concepts is a self-paced e-learning course that blends the fundamentals of financial theory with real-world events and data through a series of interactive and engaging tutorials that tell the story of finance from a practitioner’s perspective. Bloomberg Market Concepts consists of four modules – Economics, Currencies, Fixed Income and Equities – woven together from Bloomberg data, news, analytics and television.
