PC Undergraduate Wall Street Bootcamp

Description

Learn techniques we teach around the world...

The Undergraduate Boot Camp gives interns and undergraduate students the skills they need to excel in upcoming internships. The content is derived from intern training programs we deliver at top investment banks, asset management, and private equity firms. We teach real-world applications of finance theory in a way that brings corporate valuation and financial modeling to life, bridging the gap from theoretical coursework covered on campus. We focus on the valuation and financial modeling techniques used every day by experienced professionals, teaching them with the assumption of little to no prior knowledge. This allows both business majors and non-business majors to benefit from every aspect of the course.

Case study based curriculum provides hands on, real world, practical applications of the standards and methods that a professional needs.

Led by our experienced instruction team of former practitioners, you get a unique blend of industry insight combined with a passion for teaching. The average TTS instructor has been part of the team for 8.5 years.
