INTERNSHIPS
TRIP students are assigned internships with three different Advisory Board member firms. Firms give TRIP students the opportunity to learn and add value to the company while earning competitive compensation. Through these internships, students will leave the program with 10-12 months of relevant experience and exposure to company cultures, preparing them to hit the ground running in their careers.
MASTER OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT (MFM)
The MFM is a 36-hour program exclusively open to students who have been admitted to high-impact learning programs such as TRIP at Mays Business School. BBA-FINC or BBA-HNR/FINC sophomores have the option to forgo the MFM for a Certificate in Trading, Risk & Investments.
