Summer Wall Street: June 28 - July 22, 2010
Are you interested in learning about how stocks and bonds work?
Would you like to know more about the historical roots and economic fallout from the current global financial meltdown?
Do you want to understand the cogs of the financial sector, including the relation between securities firms, banks and regulatory agencies?
Drew University is pleased to offer an 8-credit four week immersion in financial markets. Held in downtown Manhattan, the program brings together morning lectures that theoretical, historical and institutional in scope, with afternoon real-life experiences. Whether visiting a trading floor at Morgan Stanley, watching the frenetic trading at the New York Stock Exchange, talking with regulators at the Security and Exchanges Commission, or discussing policy actions with economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, our program exposes students to the underpinnings of the American financial system.
After completing the program, participants come away with a better awareness of credit channels, and investment goals and benchmarks, and have a set of analytical tools that will help them succeed personally and professionally in their financial futures.
