UCSB SIP Program

Think Wall Street offers the only opportunities in finance and investing? Think again. Successful finance and investment careers await through private industry, nonprofit and government organizations as well as the real estate sector. 

The Strategic Investment Program (SIP) is designed to provide participants with a solid foundation in key practical aspects of investing and financial economics. This program is designed to give students the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge that can be directly applied in the investment arena. The certificate will also demonstrate to current and prospective employers evidence of recent professional training in this field. In some cases, course work may also be applied toward continuing education requirements in fields such as accounting, law, and finance, or other forms of career advancement.  

Ten students a year will be selected to manage an endowment investment fund (Deans Investment Group) for a year which is an amazing opportunity.
