Experiential Learning/Internships

Case Competitions
Case competitions are one of our most popular opportunities for finance and other business majors. A case competition starts with a fictitious or real “problem.” Students then work individually or in teams to identify possible solutions and present them to a panel of judges. Each competition provides incentives for both the winners and participants, in addition to earning an ExEL unit credit.
Internships
In addition to case competitions, finance majors enjoy exclusive internships at companies like Morgan Stanley, DHL, Merrill Lynch, Volvo Financial Services, The Simon Group, Northwestern Mutual, A.W. Motors, William Douglas Property Management, and Cassel Salpeter and Co.
You’ll also have access to our Corporate Speaker Series, workshops, and employer networking events, which bring you face-to-face with leading organizations and Fortune 500 executives.
