Curriculum

PVG's curriculum is designed to teach members the skills and knowledge necessary to  excel in a variety of careers in the professional world, including private equity, investment banking, wealth management, and more. 

Upon completing the structured lecture series, PVG analysts spend one academic quarter developing an industry-specific investment pitch in teams of 4–6. Each team is led by a PVG associate and focuses on one of the following sectors:

• Consumer Retail

• Energy

• Healthcare

• Industrials

• TMT

Over the quarter, analysts build Excel-based valuations, conduct market research, and prepare a professional-grade PowerPoint deck. Teams receive ongoing mentorship and feedback, culminating in a final pitch presentation to the Executive Board and PVG members. Outstanding pitches may be recognized and shared with alumni or industry professionals.
