Institutions in the CMT's Academic Partner Program demonstrate academic rigor in a variety of financial courses, including quantitative methods, behavioral finance, portfolio management, and other critical components of technical analysis.
With this collaboration, the two schools demonstrate a creative response to the increasing need for student education and professional preparation, while also advocating for the progress of technical analysis.
In this course, students will have the knowledge and understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of investment and risk management.
