A finance student’s education requires meaningful, real-world opportunities, balanced by worthwhile classroom experiences. The David Eccles School of Business Department of Finance faculty are not only committed educators, they’re also seasoned professionals and internationally recognized researchers. When they’re not teaching courses on investment, valuation, corporate finance, real estate, banking, international finance, insurance, or CFA prep courses, they might be participating on federal investigative panels or as an expert witness in a high-profile financial scandal trial or publishing their research in The Wall Street Journal or Forbes.
Degrees in Finance
Respected as some of the best in their field, Eccles School faculty are skilled teachers, innovative researchers, and global thought leaders who are shaping the strategic pioneers of the future and transforming business practices worldwide.
