Banker’s Hours

As hosts to the CBA/BAI Graduate School of Retail Bank Management, the James B. Duke Library and the Sanders Science Library will have altered operating hours from Sunday, July 20 – Monday, July 28.  But don’t let the idiom “banker’s hours” fool you.  These students will be working around the clock.  In fact, we’ve extended our hours to accommodate their needs.  The CBA/BAI program requires a significant commitment from students, who spend 10 days over three summers on the Furman campus.  Lectures are few and focused.  Each essentially prepares students for a daily immersion in the program’s signature offering: demanding, hands-on drills that push bankers to make critical decisions to a bank’s health.  Through the interactive exercises, students learn the core principles of successful retail and overall bank leadership.
