Hi there!

As you think about whether ACG University is right for the Up and Coming dealmakers in your firm, we share this ACGU report card to give you insight into the value, strength and benefit of the program for alumni.

Since we launched ACGU in conjunction with the Fordham University, Gabelli School of Business, in 2013, it's become a top-ranked initiative bringing together our region's brightest young M&A dealmakers for an executive education program focused on the life cycle of acquisitions, from sourcing to integration. The program brings together highly experienced industry professionals to lead each course and engage with ACG University students. Alumni of the program have created a vibrant network within ACG, which has lead to expanded deal relationships, new business and prospective transactions for their firms.

Who Participates?
Nearly every PE and investment bank in the region along with many of our most acquisitive corporations and all leading accounting and law firms - view the alumni list here.

Who Teaches?
Classes are taught by our most senior financial middle market and experienced regional industry leaders - acquirers, investors and advisors - sharing insights, lessons learned and strategies at every step of the deal making process.
