I am a high school senior with an interest in finance. In the past, I have traded stocks on an amateur level through my parents' account. Last summer I took an internship at a hedge fund, and learned a little about the financial markets. I am in no way an expert and would like to further my understanding of securities trading, analysis, and related endeavors. Are there any summer courses or internships I could take that would teach me these subjects? I live in New York City, but I can go anywhere in the U.S. and am willing to pay for the education. I am 18, but unless there is an age minimum please don't bother telling me I'm too young to be worrying about this. Feel free to email with questions. I appreciate your time and advice.

Most public (and some private) universities will allow you to "audit" upper division classes without being officially accepted to the school. The Stern School of Business at NYU has one of the world's most renowned finance departments, I would start there and then go to the smaller state schools and community colleges. Couple things to keep in mind: 1. You will have to pay fees on a per unit basis. I know at USC in Los Angeles, your looking at around $1000 a unit and the typical class is 4 units. If the fees are too much, start at a state school. 2. You need to go through the registration office, not the admissions office to sign up for the class. 3. Find out what class you want to take before going to registration. You can find a course catalog on every school's website.
