The mission of Beacon Pointe University (BPU) is to become the premier educator on areas of personal financial management. Through our ‘Foundations of Finance’ virtual educational course and a comprehensive summer internship program, Beacon Pointe is committed to the financial well-being of next-generation investors by educating, empowering and engaging young adults to be come stewards of their individual and family finances.

The Beacon Pointe Summer Internship Program is designed to educate younger generations on the complexities of the world of finance – how the investment banking, portfolio management and wealth advisory realms work together – and expose students to career opportunities within the wealth management and Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) industry.

Today, wealth management and financial planning careers do not receive the same exposure on university campuses in comparison to those of investment banking and other finance related careers.  Beacon Pointe’s internship program is designed to educate, engage and empower our intern class to see, first-hand, the value of financial planning services provided to our clients, the financial success and opportunities associated with a career in wealth management, and the enjoyment and fulfillment Beacon Pointe employees gain from having a career in the RIA industry.

The Beacon Pointe Summer Internship Program is offered nationally throughout a good majority of our regional office locations.  The Summer Internship Program is open to Sophomore, Junior and Senior college-level students only.
