Terminals are available for accessing the Bloomberg Financial Markets data services. The Bloomberg terminals are solely for the use of accessing the Bloomberg Financial Markets data services. The terminals provide students with real-time data on the market, news, and the world.
These terminals are not typical Wharton Lab computers; they do not offer the same applications.
Logging In
There are two steps to logging into these workstations.
- Log into the Bloomberg workstation in the same as you log into any other Wharton public workstation.
- Use the login information available at the Bloomberg terminals to log into the Bloomberg service itself.
If you do not see the login information, contact Student Support.
