Intersession Problems

Between the on-campus sessions, students of the Missouri School of Banking complete two correspondence assignments. These two interim course assignments require students to analyze the operations side and the service delivery system in their home bank. The exercise helps the students apply the concepts of the first-year curriculum. Satisfactory and timely completion of both interim assignments is a prerequisite for admission to the second-year session of the school.

Second Year Curriculum

• Bank Exec

  A sophisticated, computerized bank management simulation highlights the second year curriculum. Students have the opportunity to manage a bank as part of a management team through the Bank Exec simulation model. All concepts of the curriculum come into play as students make decisions relative to the bank’s profitability and success. The Bank Exec experience ends with a stockholders’ meeting to review each bank’s progress.
