TAI is one of several continuing education programs offered by Campbell in conjunction with the Trust Education Foundation, Inc. The mission of the Foundation is to support both the graduate and undergraduate Trust & Wealth Management degree programs. Profits generated by TAI each year are used to fund scholarships for undergraduate Campbell Trust majors. More information about the Foundation can be found at www.trusteducationfoundation.com.
Trust and Wealth Management graduates are employed each year by major financial institutions including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, Truist, City National Bank/RBC and First Citizens Bank. More than 95% of Trust graduates are placed within one month of graduation each year.
In addition to the undergraduate program, the School of Business offers the Master of Trust and Wealth Management degree. Students can complete their master’s courses in person or online.
