UWIBA is focused on preparing and developing UW students for a career in Investment Banking. Our curriculum is built to act as a "bootcamp" to prepare students for the recruitment process and for summer analyst roles!
We offer two different tracks for students with different goals
Recruitment Track
This track is for students who are serious and commited to investment banking. Recruitment track offers more resources, connections, and be assigned a mentor. Members are expected to complete weekly quizzes, mock interviews, and attend events.
General Track
This track is for students who are interested in exploring a new field in finance, but not commited to recruiting. Members are not assigned a mentor, but will be given full access to guides, seminars, internship tracker, and speaker events. This track dissolves after Fall quarter.
