Corporate Finance Boot Camp

The Finance Department at the Smeal College of Business at Penn State is proud to introduce the Corporate Finance Boot Camp. The Corporate Finance Boot Camp is intended to equip our students with better technical, analytical, and presentation skills and to prepare them for jobs in Corporate Finance. Our mission is to build a community of highly motivated, hardworking, and knowledgeable students and work with them throughout the academic year on advancing their professional goals. We will coach them on a variety of topics – from networking and resume-building to financial statement analysis, financial modeling, and valuation.

The Corporate Finance Boot Camp offers exclusive opportunities for students to connect with Penn State alumni from leading companies like Johnson & Johnson, DuPont, Vanguard, Capital One, Citi, Nasdaq, Marriott, ESPN. Students will also engage with recruiters across various industries, Smeal faculty, and peers. These interactive sessions and events, held weekly during the Fall and Spring semesters, will be restricted to Boot Camp students only. The program requires a full-year commitment to ensure students gain maximum value from the experience.

Applications are now open for the next cohort of the Corporate Finance Boot Camp, beginning in the Fall 2025 semester. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this transformative program!
