News about the AIM Program adding Blockchain modules to the curriculum

Starting Monday, February 12, 2018 - the AIM Program will launch its new FinTech curriculum

As I mentioned in previous blog entries, Michael Adam and Dr. David Krause are offering a module in FINA 4330 on blockchain and financial institutions - which will be followed next week by a module on blockchain and cryptocurrencies. These are the first of several modules that will be offered to AIM students at Marquette University on the topic of FinTech.
