Overview

Our mission is to create knowledge that advances our understanding of the economic decisions made by investors, consumers, firms and policymakers. We also offer a specialized program in real estate finance.

Features

Our program is quantitative in nature and students typically have a background in economics, engineering, mathematics or statistics. We value past experience in research related to finance or economics and some students already have completed graduate work, but we don’t require either.

Students in the Finance PhD Program at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill benefit enormously from working with our world-class faculty who value working with PhD students and have designed many courses to specifically meet your needs.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

During the first two years of the PhD program, you focus on developing the tools you need to produce high-quality research.

In the third year, you focus most of your time on your dissertation.

During this process, you will collaborate closely with faculty members and present your work during faculty research seminars.
