The Center for Finance Strategy & Innovation is able to offer assistance to corporations with whom we have a cooperation agreement to use student interns attached to the Center. Help is available in the areas of blockchain design and coding, artificial intelligence design and coding, and data analysis.
The interns themselves are graduate students in the Master of Science in Finance, Master of Science in Financial Technology and Analytics Program, or Master of Science in Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Program and students in the Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science. Work arrangements are carried out through appropriate legal structures.
In return for such assistance, cooperating companies usually provide some financial support to the Center.
