At Trine University, students don’t just learn theory – they put their knowledge into practice. A recent case study showcases how Trine’s approach to applied learning prepares students for real-world challenges in the global business landscape.
Trine University’s team, comprising students from diverse majors and nationalities, recently advanced to the second round of the prestigious 2024 CSBS Community Bank Case Study Competition. This national contest required students to partner with local financial institutions, providing a unique opportunity to gain firsthand experience in the banking sector.
The team collaborated with Farmers State Bank in Indiana, conducting on-site meetings and semester-long analysis. This practical approach allowed students to explore complex topics such as asset and liability management, regulatory expectations, and modern banking practices like social media utilisation.
In response to recent high-profile bank closures, Trine’s students were tasked with comparing their partner bank to failed institutions. This exercise demanded critical thinking and analytical skills, pushing students to apply classroom knowledge to current economic issues. The project culminated in a comprehensive report and video presentation, demonstrating the students’ ability to synthesise information and communicate complex financial concepts effectively.
Trine University’s success in this competition underscores its commitment to applied learning. By engaging with real businesses and addressing current market challenges, Trine prepares its students to become adaptable, skilled professionals ready for the global workforce. For international education agents seeking institutions that offer practical, hands-on learning experiences, Trine University stands out as a prime example.
