Senior Capstone Project in Banking

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to act in various banking and other financial institutions management positions. Notably they will apply all they have learned in prior Banking courses and will demonstrate their ability to successfully plan and then operate a Bank under highly realistic conditions. Functioning as financial managers and decision makers they will prepare a comprehensive written strategy and will then operate a Bank under highly realistic competitive and economic conditions for 8 quarters. This will be concluded with a formal evaluation of their Bank's performance - relative to their goals and policies - and a formal two year report of their performance. Additionally students will prepare a three - year financial performance pro-forma and will evaluate BIS, Federal Reserve, and FDIC criteria.
