What's covered?

Discover the excitement of the stock market from Penn State’s own state-of-the-art trading room in the Smeal College of Business.

Spend the week learning from the professionals and having fun with friends and some of your favorite companies' stocks. Find out how the strategies applied to a game of poker can be applied to financial investing as well as how to use the technological tools of the financial experts. You’ll work in teams to evaluate companies and build financial models to enable you to trade in simulated markets. From Wall Street to Main Street, you’ll explore the many careers available to finance majors and discover whether the high stakes game of finance is right for you!

It’s a fast-paced adventure that will strengthen your computing skills while keeping you on your toes to stay one step ahead of the competition. READ MORE ABOUT THIS CAMP!
