	Your Opportunity as a Summer Analyst in Investment Banking

An overview of this program's objectives and how you can benefit

The ten-week Summer Analyst Program provides an opportunity to experience the culture and atmosphere of Morgan Stanley by taking on the responsibilities and functions of full-time Analysts.
