For the second year in a row, <strong>FMA</strong> was named Superior<br />
Chapter by the <strong>FMA</strong> national organization. Also, at<br />
the University level, <strong>FMA</strong> received the Excellence<br />

A prime example of our emphasis on practical<br />

syllabus<br />

accompanying PowerPoint deck<br />
• Technical Finance Question Guide<br />

• Weekly homework<br />
• Networking assignments<br />
• Internal mentors<br />
• Professional development seminars<br />
• Weekly meetings to cover technical and<br />
behavioral topics<br />
• Capstone mock technical interview and<br />
discounted cash flow analysis project<br />
These honors recognize our accomplishments as an elite<br />
financial preparation program that combines education,<br />
career preparation, industry intellectual capital, alumni<br />
engagement, and information resources to produce the<br />
best trained and prepared students for finance careers.<br />
These training efforts resulted in an average starting<br />
