Course Descriptions

Banking Practicum
This course is specifically designed as a capstone experience for students in the Associate Degree in Banking program. It will allow students to gain practical experience in integrating and applying the concepts studied in the program. It is intended to be completed as one of the student's final courses prior to graduation. Students will be required to develop and complete a project in a functional banking area of their choosing such as lending, investments, accounting, trust, information systems, human resources, branch administration, or operations. They will identify and describe a problem, concern, or an area/process in need of improvement in a selected banking institution. The student, working in concert with the bank's appropriate functional manager and the course instructor, will develop a plan to address the problem, concern or process, present it to senior bank management for approval, and then implement it and monitor the results. This course will provide the practical experience that students need to fully synthesize and integrate the earlier coursework. 3 Credits ( .50 Lecture - 12.50 Lab)
