<p>that looks pretty interesting…also surprising to me they are not looking for business majors for such roles</p>

4

<p>Honestly, if you want to get into trading/working with actual investments it just helps a lot more to be from a quant background than a business major.</p>

5

<p>Quant is only a small subset of investment mgt. There are many doing more traditional and value investing analysis and many of them come with finance/investment majors.</p>

<p>but that program is mainly for grad students and you arent auto accepted into it either. Its just like U IOWA with their investment program, the list looks just as impressive, but only 10-20 students are picked each year</p>

<p>i was told by a former wisconsin grad that a few were picked to help out and join in, but not actively manage. Or at least i believe that is what he said, it has been a while. But they still have the investment club where in which the creators are now on campus recruiters at wisconsin for bofa securities and credit suisse.</p>

<p>That may be correct–here’s an update on the grad program</p>
