Graduate School of Banking - Madison, WI
Used to be, banking was banking. But today, the cookie-cutter days of traditional banking have disappeared, replaced by a more complex recipe: banks, thrifts, credit unions, insurance companies and brokerage firms all getting into each other's traditional line of work, all competing for each other's customers. The GSB Senior Management Seminar addresses these changing relationships, with a curriculum that is as new as the challenges bank executives face. We've also designed the program so you can customize it to fit your individual interests and needs.
