University of Evansville: The Schroeder School of Business Administration

Finance Club

Purpose:

The Finance Club assists students interested in finance, banking, and investments in developing professional, educational, and social skills. Interaction with business executives and faculty at workshops, field trips and speaker series enable students to learn more about the finance profession. Students are also encouraged to participate in service opportunities. Membership is open to all UE students.

The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA ®) Program is a globally recognized standard for measuring the competence and integrity of financial analysts. The CFA Program is a rigorous professional development program, which involves a three-year self-study curriculum and examination process to ensure that professional standards are achieved. University graduates are eligible to enroll in the first year’s examination if they will have completed their undergraduate degree. Although there is no formal University curriculum for the exam, courses that assist students in preparing for the Level I exam are: Economics, Statistics, Financial Management, Accounting and Investments.

Students interested in the CFA program are encouraged to discuss the program with Professor Robert Clark. As a CFA charter holder Dr. Clark can recommend a limited number of students for academic awards to assist with the fees involved with the first year program. For more program information please see the CFA program website.
