internship for a firm engaged in financial analysis in some
way. While the real world experience of the internship itself
is the main outcome for the student, the course requirements
extend the learning benefits of the internship. Specifically,
the student must write a paper discussing the company they
worked for and a key financial issue the firm faces. Thus, the
objectives are:
1) Get real world financial experience in an internship.
This benefits the student both in direct learning and in
gaining experience valuable in their further career.
2) Apply knowledge from their business and other UGA
classes to analyze a firm they have worked for and analyze a
real world issue facing the firm. |
