I first heard about Swiss Finance from a friend who was an alumnus of the program.

After hearing of the program’s rigorous curriculum and schedule, I was very intrigued. I evaluated their website to see for myself, and the range of topics covered seemed like the program would provide an appropriate forum to advance my interests.

How did Swiss Finance prepare you for your career?

I am very interested in entrepreneurship, and in college I majored in Mathematics, Economics (Finance emphasis), and Political Science to develop a well-rounded perspective. Swiss Finance contributed an immediately applicable dimension to my undergraduate studies. The financial operations I learned at Swiss Finance was both more advanced than college courses, and at times more directly relevant to a strategic entrepreneur. Rather than stopping with time value of money and cash flow, the curriculum taught me how investment banks would value a company, and the practical challenges of arriving at a fair purchase price during and M&A deal. What was the best part of the program? The people involved were a highlight. The instructors really knew what they were talking about, and I appreciated the candid perspective they brought to the discussion. The students were very diverse and international, and had interesting experiences, as well.
Cheers
