The Ph.D. program with a finance specialization follows a conventional structure. Students typically undergo two years of academic study, then proceed to comprehensive examinations before working on their dissertation, with the entire process spanning at least four years. This curriculum provides ample research possibilities throughout. The dissertation requires in-depth investigation into a finance subject that meaningfully advances existing knowledge. FAU finance doctoral candidates have explored diverse financial research areas in their dissertations, covering subjects such as IPO processes, bankruptcy acquisitions, corporate mergers, bond issuances, mutual fund operations, investment banking practices, banking regulations, and anti-takeover measures.
