Duff & Phelps YOUniversity Deal Challenge

Now beginning its fourth year, the Duff & Phelps YOUniversity Deal Challenge engages college Juniors from around the United States to hone a broad range of skills, including mergers and acquisitions advisory, transaction opinions, dispute consulting and valuation advisory.

Working in teams of three to solve a complex transaction, participants apply technical reasoning and critical thinking throughout key stages of the deal-making process. In the end, participants have a stronger perspective on how a deal comes together, as well as many problems that must be overcome throughout the process.

Finalists present their solution in the boardroom of Duff & Phelps’ New York office to a group of Duff & Phelps experts and nationally recognized professors. All finalist team members win substantial scholarships.
