Doctoral students devote their third, fourth and potentially fifth years in the program to conduct individual research culminating in a doctoral dissertation. Students gain hands-on experience conducting thorough literature reviews; developing and writing conceptual framework and hypotheses development sections; collecting and analyzing data using advanced statistical methods; and supporting why their research is relevant.

- Corporate Finance
- International Finance
- Financial Intermediation
- Financial Markets
- Behavioral Finance
- Empirical Investments
