TVA Investment Challenge
The TVA Investment Challenge provides hands-on applications of advanced portfolio concepts by managing an actual investment portfolio. Students implement trading strategies, place trades, provide performance reports, and adhere to similar standards as professional money managers while acting as fund managers for the Tennessee Valley Authority. The primary objective is for students to maximize long-run capital growth subject to relevant risk factors and investment restrictions.
Banking Advisory Board
The College of Business is committed to providing professional opportunities outside the classroom so students can experience various aspects of the business world to strengthen their business skills and enhance their career readiness. Working with our banking partner, business students will observe and experience the banking industry's inner workings and how banks serve while supporting the community.

Internship Highlight
Lauren Montgomery, 2022 Tennessee Tech graduate, interned with Elliot Davis. Below is the testimonial she provided about her internship experience.
“Elliott Davis is a public accounting firm, and I worked out of the Nashville office. Through this experience with Elliott Davis, I learned about various types of audits. I learned about internal audits, compliance, and loan reviews. The internship experience at Elliot Davis benefited me for my future because I could meet so many different people and build great relationships with coworkers. I now know more about what public accounting looks like from an audit perspective.”
