The College of Business at the University of Central Arkansas has been awarded a $4,000 Target Case Study Grant for a case study competition between finance students.
The grant competition allows students to see how an actual corporation approaches defining a business problem and finding solutions.This is the second year the College of Business has received the grant, said Tammy Rogers, interim chair of the Department of Economics, Finance, and Insurance & Risk Management and associate professor of finance.
Financial Decision Making and Advanced Financial students will have the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to the workforce. Students will be given a case study, which they must develop a solution.
Student teams will present oral presentations to a panel of business faculty. The top four teams chosen by the faculty will then have the opportunity to present their results to executives from Target at the end of the semester. The winning team will receive a $4,000 prize funded by the Target grant.
