The Access Wall Street Program has three major components. The first three weeks are spent developing the student's understanding the basics of the stock market. Activities challenge the students to apply their understanding of fundamental value to stock analysis. Next, students form teams and begin building a simulated stock portfolio. The last month of the program is dedicated to researching and making a final presentation of a publicly traded company to a panel of business executives.
