Our department believes educational experiences are best learned through real-world experiences. Accordingly, we offer several opportunities that allow you to apply the knowledge you learn in the classroom to practical business situations.

Learn about the financial process firsthand in the Davis Center for Portfolio Management. The center serves as a hands-on laboratory where you develop and implement strategies in security selection, diversification, asset allocation and risk management, while gaining experience with sophisticated investment management software. Also, get firsthand experience and learn the specifics of trading derivatives in the Hanley Trading Center.

You can invest real money — and watch it grow — through the Vertically Integrated Investment Program. The program consists of a series of courses leading to the seminar in investments, in which you will manage a portfolio that is worth over $20 million. An advisory committee of professionals from the financial services industry provides you with invaluable feedback on investment strategies.

To prepare for your career, you can concentrate your studies in investment analysis and portfolio management, or corporate financial management.
