USE THE SOFTWARE UTILIZED BY PROFESSIONALS
Sitting on the desks of 325,000 of the world’s most influential decision makers, the Bloomberg Terminal is a modern icon of financial markets.
Launched in 1981, long before PCs and the internet became ubiquitous, the Bloomberg Terminal brought transparency to financial markets. It connected market participants to a groundbreaking data, analytics and information-delivery service — and revolutionized an industry.
More than three decades on, the Bloomberg Terminal remains at the cutting edge of innovation, delivering fast access to indispensible news, data and trading tools from any internet-connected PC or mobile device — and helping its subscribers turn knowledge into action.

“The most practical class I have ever taken- real world investing and dealing with a true portfolio. Very independent and allows students to really show how hard they can work if they want to stand out.”
“I gained knowledge about subject areas, real-life experience and connections.”
“Everything about this course is meant to challenge you.”
“Real world experience…learned more about the finance industry than anything else I've ever done.”
“The unstructured nature of the class makes you become self-disciplined. Guest speakers are amazing. Out of the 38 classes equaling 133 credits it is the only one that I have felt challenged to my max potential.”
“AIP gave me the ability to apply course concepts to my own personal life, and have the course concepts serve as the foundation for my career.”
“Because of my participation in AIP I completed an internship last summer at Phoenix Investment Adviser, LLC in New York as a high yield credit analyst. I would not have been prepared for the internship without you and our Applied Investment meetings. This summer I will be interning as an analyst on the Invesco Mid-cap Value fund.”
“The Applied Investment Program was the best experience I had here at Whitewater.”
