Spring Semester
First-year students have the opportunity to participate in Villanova Finance Group's (VFG) Monday night training sessions, designed to build a strong foundation in finance while introducing the industry’s diverse career paths. These sessions cover core finance concepts and provide insight into opportunities in areas such as investment banking, sales and trading, equity research, and asset management.
In VFG, we recognize that every member brings unique interests and experiences. Our goal is to guide each individual toward the path that best aligns with their aspirations. As students progress into sophomore year, they can begin to specialize within VFG’s subsocieties, diving deeper into their chosen field to gain a more tailored skillset. This structured yet adaptable approach ensures that all members are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to thrive in the competitive world of finance.
