An exclusive partnership between Loyola's Executive Education department
and the Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors
Please visit the AM&AA Website at: www.amaaonline.org.
Scope and Purpose
Loyola University Chicago's Executive Education Department has partnered with the Alliance of Merger and Acquisition Advisors (AM&AA) to offer a unique perspective on the middle marketplace for mergers and acquisitions. This partnership represents the first and only advanced educational program for business leaders and advisory professionals.
As business sellers and buyers are often left to their own devices to make important decisions, this five day program has been designed to specifically address a large and highly fragmented market of mergers and acquisitions ranging in $5m-$150m in transaction value. During this program, industry experts will offer their views on current and future trends; Loyola faculty and practicing M&A instructors provide content that address both theoretical and applicable topics and tools in the real world of M&A. The synergy of this partnership represents the highest quality of available knowledge and thought leadership for middle market M&A services.
At the end of the program, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from Loyola University Chicago's Executive Education dept. Participants who are both qualified and experienced as a business professional may also elect to join the AM&AA, subject to completing the certification test. Those who successfully complete the test will be awarded an advanced professional credential of Certified Merger & Acquisition Advisor (CM&AA) and membership to the AM&AA.
