Center for Banking and Financial Services
Founded in 2008, the purpose of the Center for Banking and Financial Services (CBFS)
is to establish valuable partnerships between San José State University's Lucas College
and Graduate School of Business and local financial institutions. The focus of the
Center's efforts is to create links between talented 91ÁÔÆæ students and the banking
and financial services industry in order to enhance student knowledge through curricular
and extra-curricular activities. This is especially important because there may be
a discrepancy between the career opportunities in the financial sector and students'
understanding of those opportunities. The CBFS assists the partner institutions in
rewarding excellence among students and faculty members through scholarships, internships,
and grants. Please visit the CBFS Executive Board page for more information about our partner institutions and CBFS representatives.

The Center for Banking and Financial Services has many activities and events including
