Spring Registration
Spring registration is now open so make sure to register your electives for next semester. Also, do not remove yourself from your core classes once they have been added to your schedule. If you have any questions regarding the registration process please contact the MBA Office.
 
CFA Prep Class
The university currently offers Fin 7720, which is a prep course for the CFA exam. As the course is both very challenging and intense, you are required to register for the first level of the CFA exam in June in order to remain in the university course. The Finance Department also offers scholarships to cover much of the costs for the exam. For those of you interested in investment banking or financial analysts positions, or if you would just like to have your resume stand out, this would be a great opportunity.

Also, please be aware that there is a professional organization dedicated solely to those students - both graduate and undergrad - majoring/specializing in Finance: The Student Finance Association. In addition to bringing in professionals from various fields in finance, this group also has an annual trip to New York City. This trip would be a great tool for networking for those who are interested in moving to the Northeast or those who are interested in investment banking.
 
Golf Lessons
Contact Andy at jcifre1@lsu.edu to set up a time and day to meet with him for golf lessons.
