PhD in Finance

The Finance PhD program prepares students to engage in original research on financial markets and decision-making. Students acquire critical technical skills in economic theory, finance theory, data analysis and coding. They also learn to identify promising ideas, write compelling papers and present effectively.

Because the Finance PhD program is small, students benefit from broad access to faculty as co-authors, advisors and mentors. Students also have direct access to leading scholars within professional associations, including six members of the Finance Theory Group, five members (including one founder of the Labor and Finance Group, and a director of the Financial Research Association.)

Our program also places strong emphasis on preparing our graduates for the classroom. Finance students build their teaching portfolio by first acting as a teaching apprentice (TA) for a semester-long finance class and subsequently teaching their own two sections of a semester-long class.
