TWO TOP BANKING SCHOOLS MERGE:
ABA STONIER NATIONAL GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BANKING
WASHINGTON – Two of the nation’s most prestigious banking schools have merged to form the world-class American Bankers Association (ABA) Stonier National Graduate School of Banking.
The new school is the result of the 2007 merger between ABA and the former America’s Community Bankers association (ACB). Each organization managed its own highly respected graduate-level banking school: the ABA Stonier Graduate School of Banking and the ACB National School of Banking (NSB). Together, the two schools trained more than 20,000 banking leaders.
The new ABA Stonier National Graduate School of Banking continues the tradition of preparing the future leaders of the banking industry. Students may choose a rich mixture of core classes and electives with the Stonier curriculum, or a pre-determined group of courses combined with a living-learning community experience with the NSB Track. New electives and a renowned faculty guarantee an unparalleled learning experience.
Stonier students traditionally hold the titles of vice president or senior vice president. Twenty percent are executive vice presidents, chairmen, or CEOs. All are considered rising stars in their organizations and come from more than 45 states and 15 foreign countries.
Located at the University of Pennsylvania in West Philadelphia’s University City, the ABA Stonier National Graduate School of Banking carries on a 135-year legacy of training the world’s financial leaders.
More information on the program is available by calling 1-800-BANKERS or by visiting www.aba.com/Events/STONIER.
The American Bankers Association brings together banks of all sizes and charters into one association. ABA works to enhance the competitiveness of the nation's banking industry and strengthen America’s economy and communities. Its members – the majority of which are banks with less than $125 million in assets – represent over 95 percent of the industry’s $13.3 trillion in assets and employ over 2 million men and women.
