MTA Educational Foundation
In 1993 the Market Technicians Association established the MTA Educational Foundation, to "identify and fund educational programs in the field of technical analysis at accredited colleges and universities." The foundation has succeeded in bringing conferences and lecture series to many colleges and universities, including Dartmouth College, Harvard Business School, Columbia University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Chicago.
The foundation's mission has expanded to include the creation and support of a complete technical analysis curriculum, which is now being taught in classrooms at numerous colleges and universities across the country. The University of Richmond in Virginia offered the first fully accredited course in technical analysis in 1996; today more than 20 business schools offer such courses.
The foundation also has an active outreach to financial professionals, via sponsored courses at the New York Society of Security Analysts, the Boston Security Analysts Society and the Centro Studi Bancari in Lugano, Switzerland. The foundation's board of directors includes distinguished university professors and Wall Street professionals.
