The Maryland Banking School is the largest single component in the MBA's extensive education program. 2010 will mark the 35th session of this three-year general banking school which graduates approximately 35 students annually. The school's curriculum emphasizes multi-discipline, hands-on experience that prepares students for situations they are likely to encounter in their own banks.
Initial courses cover basic banking principles and then move on to the application of those principles in the second year. During the senior year the focus is on management. The school culminates in a bank simulation course that allows students to apply the skills they have learned. Students participate in a simulated bank environment where they set goals, forecast performance, respond to changing market conditions and solve problems typical of day-to-day banking operations.
