Student Practicum
BAN Practicum
As a member of the Junior Cohort, you will sign up to take Entrepreneurial Finance (FIN 4310) in the Spring Semester. In addition to enrolling in the finance course, Juniors will assist the Senior Analysts and BAN Leadership with daily operations, attend weekly meetings, and contribute to quarterly deal screening and events.
As a BAN Senior Analyst, students receive six hours of course credit (FIN 4315 BAN Practicum and BUS 4398 BAN Practicum 2) over two semesters where they deepen their knowledge of entrepreneurial ventures and private investment structures. This includes leading screening diligence of real companies and serves as the culmination of their educational experience.
Our students come from various academic backgrounds, if you have questions about eligibility, please contact us here.
