Internship Program

The Trading Room is home to a group of interns, or Trading Room analysts, who develop specialized knowledge in one of the software systems in the room including Bloomberg, Reuters, TradeStation, or Financial Trading System (FTS). Analysts are responsible for working in the room and assisting visitors whenever they need help.

They also teach regular classes about the software systems. As part of their internships, Trading Room analysts also complete a research project using the resources available in the room. These projects range from developing trading simulations in FTS to using Reuters and Bloomberg to construct datasets of financial data for finance courses.

Many of our interns have gone on to jobs on Wall Street, where they say the knowledge they gained as analysts helped them stand out from the competition from day one.

Applications for the 2009/2010 academic year will be available in spring 2009.
