Applied Investment Management Program

Marquette University is home to one of the nation’s top undergraduate programs in applied investment management. The AIM program allows a select group of undergraduate finance majors to get hands-on academic and security analysis experience, including summer internships and an opportunity to actively manage three equity and fixed-income portfolios throughout their senior year.

Students study the core body of knowledge covered in the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) exam – preparing them to take the test upon graduation – and begin a career in the money management industry. In 2007, the International Applied Investment Management (IAIM) program was introduced and in 2009 a five-year AIM/Master of Science in Applied Economics (Financial Economics track) plan was offered.

CFA Educational Partners

The AIM program was the first undergraduate business program selected as a Program Partner by the CFA Institute. The partnership designation means that Marquette University offers a degree program that covers at least 70 percent of the CFA Institute’s Program Candidate Body of Knowledge, the CFA Institute Ethical and Professional Standards, and other requirements.

Mission

The mission of the AIM program is to provide Marquette University’s undergraduate students the opportunity to integrate the financial principles they learn in the classroom along with relevant internships and investment experiences so that they may become proficient and ethical investment professionals.
