Banking and Financial Services

Banks and financial institutions provide the funding and liquidity that are essential for economic growth. Every decision that companies make has financial implications that directly or indirectly involves banks, financial institutions, and securities markets. Similarly, individuals make decisions involving payments, loans, and investments.

The key point is that anything that involves money has direct and indirect ties to banks and financial services. Banks provide deposits, derivative securities, investments, loans, payment systems, wealth management, and other services. Accordingly, banks and financial institutions seek both undergraduate and graduate finance students.

The students may go into corporate training programs to become loan officers, manage securities and investment portfolios, wealth management/trust departments, and other management areas. Some of our former students also work for federal and state bank regulators including the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, State Department of Banking, and other agencies.Finally, banks also hire students with backgrounds in accounting, computer sciences,management and marketing, and other majors.
