<p>Okay, one question at a time:</p>
<p>The Investment Banking Workshop, what's it like?
Can't say for sure, but people say it's lots of courses on advanced excel, what's it like to do investment banking, how to handle case interviews, preparing discounted cash flow (DCF) valuations for companies, doing options pricing models, etc.</p>
<p>---Finance Club, is it as good as it's reputation has it?
Don't know</p>
<p>---A year study abroad in Canterbury (my junior year), is it worth it? I don't think it will help contribute much to my major.
First of all, you need to know that Canterbury specializes in art, history, and humanities. For this reason, you should plan to take only the one semester program instead. This is offered via either the London School of Economics (which offers accounting, economics, and statistics) or University College, London (which offers statistics courses)--go to Arcadia, then choose the college, then look at course offerings.</p>
<p>Here's the Arcadia page that lists all the colleges that offer programs:
England</a> London School of Economics - Arcadia University - A private, comprehensive university in metropolitan Philadelphia</p>
<p>---Completing I-CORE no later than the summer after my sophomore year, am I nuts?
No, it's possible--or you can take I-core your first semester of junior year and do the London college experience (one of the two colleges above) during the spring semester (or reverse the order of these two if you want to be in London during Christmas--which is pretty neat--but expensive). P.S. The University College, London is near Bloomsbury, an upscale area in the metropolitan part of London and is just a short ways NW of Soho, Covent Garden, and the Financial District. It is only about two blocks from the British Museum. London School of Economics is just east of Covent Garden and even closer to the Financial District.</p>
<p>---An internship, where should I look? what's out there? Any sample/example stories?
My son is doing a financial internship with a high-tech Silicon Valley firm as a sophomore (but then we live in the Silicon Valley). I imagine getting junior internships will be much easier than freshman or sophomore ones. </p>
<p>---Research? Is there any research I can do as a business major?
There is research to be done in every major--including every business concentration--but then that's why people get PhDs in the subject--to continue to do research in the field and teach about their research interests.</p>
<p>---Double and even triple majoring, I've heard it's quite possible.
Yes, it's possible, but it's very difficult as a finance major, since that major has more required courses than any other business major at IU-B. If you plan to study overseas in addition, then I'd say take just one major. (P.S. Double majoring doesn't help much unless you plan to use both subjects in your work. I have two business majors--but one is as a bachelor's candidate and one as a masters' candidate. And I do use both--but that is really the exception, not the rule.)</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
