SCBS PURPOSE

The South Carolina Bankers School (SCBS) provides the practicing banker an integrated and complete set of usable
courses covering all aspects of banking, as well as overall bank management. The School fosters academic and social
interactions with fellow bankers conducive to joint bank problem solving at the School and later in the workplace. The
curriculum is designed as a stepping stone to graduate banking schools and will provide benefits for the duration of
one’s banking career. This excellent intermediate-level education is one of the premier state banking programs in the
country.

The SCBS offers general educational experiences in many phases of banking. Students are expected to be junior- and
mid-management-level officers or administrators. Throughout the three-year program, students are challenged to learn
more about their responsibilities while preparing for future advancement. Students acquire a better knowledge of the
total scope of their organizations and the role of the financial services industry in the economy. Though rigorous, the
South Carolina Bankers School provides an informal atmosphere which allows students to respond in an enthusiastic
manner to the classroom instruction. Even though the schedule and work are demanding, the School provides time for
building relationships through socialization outside of the classroom.
