The NIBA is proud to have DePaul University as its educational partner.  NIBA is always looking for ways to add value to your membership and provide you with the resources, tools and education to further your business interests.  The NIBA Board of Directors has recently formed a committee to work with DePaul University on promoting a joint program that focuses on placing qualified interns at firms within the industry.  We have spoken to firms who have utilized DePaul interns in the past and have had great success, where both the firm and the intern mutually benefited. 



One of the biggest non-compliance operational concerns to firms is a need for qualified individuals.  This program offers the opportunity for firms to find qualified interns that for the right candidate could turn into a potential broker, analyst, compliance analyst, financial model programmer, etc.  Please look out for additional information on this program as the details are finalized and the processes are put in place. 



In the meantime, if you have an immediate need for an intern please contact the NIBA and we can help you to make the appropriate arrangements. Please note this program is only available to current members of the NIBA.  If you are not a member or need to renew your membership please visit the following link: https://membership.theniba.com/register/

From the Classroom to the Trading Floor

There is no single, clearly defined education path for entering the derivatives industry as professionals come from a range of academic backgrounds. Still, higher education plays a crucial role in preparing students for success in this complex and fast-evolving field. A strong foundation in finance, economics, and mathematics is essential. At the undergraduate level, students should prioritize courses in financial markets and institutions, investment analysis, corporate finance, and introductory derivatives. Just as important are courses in statistics and calculus, which help build the analytical and quantitative skills required for understanding pricing models, volatility, and risk management strategies. With the increasing reliance on algorithmic trading and quantitative research, a concentration or minor in applied mathematics, data science, or computer programming can...
