The Bank of America Institute was created to furnish research and information regarding the integration, management, and deployment of technology to the financial services industry. The institute was made possible by a contribution from Bank of America, one of the Nation's largest financial services companies. It occupies a link between the Coggin College of Business and the College of Computing, Engineering and Construction. This link fosters interdisciplinary research by focusing faculty and student expertise from both colleges upon management and information technology issues relevant to the financial services industry.
