The Campbell Program

     Trust Pre-Law offers a wide diversity of career opportunities, and we have three unique programs to meet your needs: 

·         you may earn a four-year Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree with a  major in Trust Management;

·         You might pursue our relatively new four-year Pre-Law Track, which overlays most Trust Management courses with classes specially selected to enhance skills needed for law school; or,

·         You could enter our 3/2 program, which enables you to earn both a BBA and an MBA degree in a five-year time span.

     Whatever your choice, you'll be part of a nationally known and respected department.  Graduates are eligible to sit for the national CFP® Certification Examinations and earn the certification. [Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. owns the marks CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and CFP(with flame logo)®, which it awards to individuals who successfully complete initial and ongoing certification requirements]

The Campbell Approach

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

     The internships are optional, but about three fourths of our students complete at least one summer internship.  We have ongoing internship arrangements 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 pre-law majors choosing to pursue a law school education enjoy tremendous success in being admitted to their first choice of law schools.  Trust pre-law majors 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 for the Advancement of Management (SAM) Club which arranges speakers, social activities, and community projects.
