The Campbell Approach

We use a variety of teaching strategies in major courses averaging only about 50 students each. These include case studies, roleplaying,and internship experiences.

The internships are optional, but about three fourths of our students complete at least one summer internship. We have ongoing internshiparrangements with major financial institutions nationwide and will work hard to match you with a suitable opportunity.

The Campbell Resources

Because it's the only undergraduate program of its kind, our students enjoy several special resources. For example, the Gilbert T.
Stephenson Trust Library is among the best collections of trust literature in the U.S. Our majors also participate annually in the Wealth
Managers Forum and in a special session of the Trust Advisors Forum at Pinehurst. Moreover, Campbell sponsors the Southeastern Trust School each summer on campus. Trust prelawmajors choosing to pursue a law school education enjoy tremendous success in being admitted to their first choice of law schools. Trust prelawmajors choosing to enter the financial services industry enjoy practically a 100%placement rate upon graduation due to the efforts of the faculty, the placement director, and the Trust Education Foundation, Inc.,

In addition, our students benefit from the Gilbert T. Stephenson Trust Club, the Accounting and Financial Planning Club, and the Society forthe Advancement of Management (SAM) Club which arranges speakers, social activities, and community projects.
