Student Testimony
“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.”
“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.”
“The Applied Investment Program was the best experience I had here at Whitewater.”
