CFAR Practicum

3 units

The CFAR Practicum provides consulting project opportunities for WAM, Fintech, Quant, and MBA Finance students. Students work in teams to complete a project with a company, developing sophistication in the transfer of cutting-edge financial techniques putting the academic environment into practice. Faculty advisors help teams manage the relationships with clients and make the bridge between the academic tools the students have learned and the practical projects provided by the companies. Students' grades are based on deliverables throughout the semester including the final presentation at the conclusion of the project. MSFC students can only take this course in their final semester by those who have not taken MGT 5515 or MGT 5022. MBA students can take this course any semester after their first. Dropping this course after being introduced to a client may have an adverse impact on your ability to register for CEL courses in the future.
