This spring Samford University’s Brock School of Business finance students once again excelled on the Bloomberg Aptitude Test (BAT). The global test is designed to aid employers in identifying and screening students who wish to pursue careers in investment management and financial services. The test encompasses current events in business, finance and economics as well as business skills and aptitude.
Samford students scored high on the BAT relative to other university students from around the world.
The Brock School of Business made the investment in this program to provide students the opportunity to learn to analyze and perform research with economic and financial market data in real-time, according to Howard Finch, dean of the Brock School of Business. In addition students can become certified in their Bloomberg proficiency skills while still enrolled in school.
Employers worldwide have access to the test results from Bloomberg when seeking to fill positions at their companies.
