Marquette’s Finance in New York Program
Marquette University’s Finance in New York
Program was launched in the summer of 2018, with students competing for and
securing a variety of internships with commercial and investment banks, FinTech firms, hedge funds and securities trading
platforms. We’re pleased to report
student interest continues to build for the upcoming spring and summer 2019
sessions.
Marquette’s newest applied-learning
opportunity enables qualified students to experience living and learning in the
world’s financial capital, gain practical work experience, develop mentors via
participation in alumni networking events, and experience many of New York
City’s cultural venues with enrollment in “The Arts in a Democratic Society,”
taught by Dr. Curtis Carter. Student feedback
has been overwhelmingly positive.
·
“Everyone
I worked next to was interested in the success of others …. everyone was
willing to help me learn.”
·
“….
the best part was the exposure to various aspects of accounting and finance ….
and the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects with employees in
offices across the US and abroad.”
·
“My
experience with my employer was outstanding.
Everyone was extremely kind, patient and knowledgeable.”
·
“I
really enjoyed being with other Marquette students, especially with the housing
….. made my summer more enjoyable….”
·
“I loved the alumni events.”
·
“Dr. Carter was amazing …. his knowledge and
passion for the arts and the relationships he has in the arts community are a
real treasure.”
Importantly, the employers also had positive
outcomes, with almost all of the rising seniors participating in last summer’s
program receiving offers for full-time employment upon graduation.This opportunity is available to select juniors and seniors majoring in finance, accounting or economics with a GPA above 3.0. Through the interview process with the program director and other faculty, we further look for students with emotional maturity, strong communication skills, a demonstrated work ethic and track record of achievement.
We
believe—and have witnessed—that experiential learning opportunities are among
the most effective ways for us to achieve our goal of developing ethical and
socially responsible global leaders prepared to compete in complex and dynamic
business environments. We are grateful
to the many alumni and their employers for helping make this program a reality.
We
are currently seeking program support and additional internship opportunities
for students. To learn more about Marquette’s Finance in New York Program and how
