usrich Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Does anybody know what are the stengths of the following finance PhD programs? Yale SOM Cornell Johnson Wharton Wisconsin Chicago Booth I am actually interested in behavioral finance. It seems that Yale is strong in this subfield. However, I am also concerned with the job prospect. I would like to be a finance professor, but I also want to find a subfield which is also popular in industry. So I can easily find a job either in academia or private sector. Which subfield should I choose? Any comments are appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Why not Princeton? Or do they not have a PhD program? I've heard going there for finance was like getting a golden ticket to do just about anything you want in finance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Oh, and Wharton/Chicago are well known for finance. Yale SOM...not so much at all. I was a b-school prospective for quite awhile (even toured Yale SOM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha_academic Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah, I'd say the top finance programs are Chicago, Wharton, and NYU. I think they are strong in all areas of finance. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it seems like every other professor has a degree from Chicago. ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
