Access Our Finance Student Pipeline
CFA-Based Curriculum
Active Fund Experience
BMC Certified
Our finance graduates enter the job market with a strong foundation in the theory and principles that govern financial practices, including modern portfolio theory, the capital asset pricing model and behavioral finance. What sets them apart are the myriad ways they’ve been challenged to apply theory by acquiring industry credentials, managing multiple types of life funds (with real capital!) and attending professional conferences alongside our region’s financial practitioners.
Sponsor a Professional Symposium
We organize three symposiums throughout the year to close critical information gaps for life science founders, families managing generational wealth and service members transitioning into civilian life who want to improve their financial fluency. Each one offers companies the exclusive opportunity to connect with attendees navigating these niche areas of San Diego’s financial markets. You’ll also connect with leaders, peer companies and professionals who provide services that support founders, families and individuals along their financial journey.
Become an Industry Partner
