The interdisciplinary two-part program begins with the Building Blocks course to establish a baseline of understanding around the core subject matter in Accounting, Economics, Finance and Capital Markets, the centerpieces of investment analysis and research.  Our intent is to construct a sound foundation of understanding of the critical principles, concepts, tools, methodologies, and theories that are used by professional investors every day.  By learning the alphabet of investing, our program participants can then apply this skillset to construct the words, sentences, and paragraphs that are the vocabulary of finance. Once mastered, this opens the doors to multiple key career paths including Investment Management, Commercial Banking, Venture Capital, Private Equity, Investment Banking and Consulting.  By thoroughly understanding these critical building blocks of investing knowledge, we will have prepared our students to write their own career story any way they wish to define their future.  

The Building Blocks course is followed by the Applied Investment Analysis course where program participants are further trained to manage real dollars in the stock market.  There is no substitute for doing it.  Taking all their training and putting the effort in to find the right company at the right price at the right time is no longer a theoretical exercise.  This is the real thing and it’s with real money.  It is a time for students to buckle down and roll up their sleeves because this is the real deal, every second counts, and the university’s money is on the line. Our students are embarking on a next-level experience, one that will require their full effort and attention.  But that is what they have craved all along and we are most pleased to be able to provide it.
