Georgia Banking School (2027 Session)

Challenging, Practical and Career-Building

Georgia Banking School students complete a robust curriculum focused on the following outcomes:

• Learn how banking functions interconnect and affect profitability
• Build analytical and management skills for real-world decisions
• Strengthen community development and business development strategies
• Develop teamwork, leadership and problem-solving techniques
• Understand the legal and regulatory landscape, including CRA and Federal Reserve policies

Each year builds on the last to create a cohesive learning journey. First-year students take a pre- and post-test; second-year students take a final exam. Third-year students work in teams to complete a bank simulation, presenting their results to a panel of judges on Friday. The program concludes with individuals recognized at a formal graduation ceremony.

Expert Faculty with Real-World Perspective

Faculty include experienced bankers, UGA professors, regulatory professionals and attorneys — many of whom have taught at the school for years. Instructors are selected not only for subject matter expertise, but for their ability to connect with and mentor students.

All courses are evaluated regularly by students and facilitators to ensure content remains timely and relevant.
