re: LSU Graduate School of Banking?

I think it's useful for someone who went into banking from a different academic background. If you have a Finance degree or similar, you probably won't learn anything you don't already know, and if you have an MBA or MS you def. won't learn anything you don't already know. But it's another box to check off on the resume. Not saying it's of no value, but they do tend to oversell what it is they're offering,
Andd IMNSHO, the name is misleading. It's on the LSU campus and taught by LSU professors, but it's not an Academic program. It's run by the Bankers Association and you don't get an academic degree from attending. I assume, but don't know for a fact, that the other graduate schools of banking are like this. If a postgraduate degree is what you're looking for, get into a regular grad school.

I had an MBA going into it and I learned plenty. An MBA doesn't teach you about ALCO modeling, duration and doesn't have you spend 2 straight weeks running a bank simulation.
I live in DC now and any regularly hear LSU regarded as 1 of the top 3 banking schools in the nation.
Also, look at the first guy in the clip - He's the Virginia Banker's Association President and he's been on the LSU Banking School Board for a long long time. That banking school has a ton of credibility in the banking world.
