Program Design
The 2013 Summer Finance Institute occurs over a four-week period from June 3 - 28. Participants will work in a team of five students alongside a finance executive. Students will be randomly assigned to companies and will meet weekly with executives to design and execute their corporate project. Students will be required to attend weekly industry and personal development workshops. Competition week will include coaching sessions and final project presentations. Presentations will be judged by finance executives, and teams will be awarded prizes based upon a final ranking of the quality of the analyses and presentations.

Internship - U.S.
Students may elect to search for a credit-bearing internship opportunity. Pending approval, international students seeking internship participation are eligible only after successful completion of the first year of the program (two full semesters) due to work authorization requirements. Additionally, a minimum GPA of 3.0 is required. The School of Management does not provide MS Finance internship placements, therefore students must seek opportunities in their own networks and contact the Credit-Bearing Internship Program for approval.
Internship - China CRCC Asia
Don’t Forget! Many students prefer to return home for the summer months – a perfect time to participate in an internship in your hometown. Internship experience on the resume means a tremendous amount to employers regardless of location. We encourage you to utilize your personal networks to obtain an internship that will immerse you in your local economy. The Summer Finance Institute will look great on your resume as well as attract employers in China interested in hiring you as an intern, and you have time to do both. Additionally, you may need to begin your job search over the summer in order to find employment in China upon graduation. An internship is a great start.
