At PCBS, we care deeply that each student receives the support they need to be successful. For this reason, we have a unique advisory program, offered to students every year.
IN YEAR ONE, students are divided into small groups and assigned an executive student advisor (ESA). Every ESA is a PCBS alumnus who has been selected for their leadership qualities and communication skills. The focus of each ESA is to create and enhance opportunities for students to ask questions, strengthen their network, and feel connected early on in the PCBS experience. These advisors are on campus the entire first week of the session, and are accessible before and after that time.
IN YEAR TWO, students select a topic and begin planning their management reports (senior thesis), which are submitted during their final year. After completing their report proposals, PCBS assigns a Management Report Advisor (MRA) to each student based on the expertise required to guide the student effectively in their report topic. Most MRAs are graduates of PCBS and are available to guide their students during and between the second and third-year sessions.
IN YEAR THREE, PCBS features a capstone program—the Bank Management Simulation—which brings the students’ entire PCBS experience into focus. This simulation is part of a strategically coordinated curriculum designed to integrate and apply the knowledge gained throughout the program. Faculty members work closely to deliver a cohesive and impactful educational experience.
