Program Overview

The Ph.D. in Finance program at Stuart School of Business is both practice and research oriented, preparing you to initiate advanced techniques and research to solve problems in investment and corporate finance, to address regulatory issues in risk management and market functions, and to take on roles in finance in both industry and academia.

You will be immersed in industry-leading techniques and applications of financial technology, financial economics, quantitative finance, business finance, and applied statistics. The curriculum emphasizes mastery of both applied research methods and strategies needed for high-level research positions in industry, as well as the advanced techniques and statistical tools required for high-caliber research in a variety of jobs.

This program is selective and small, offering a high degree of mentorship and interaction between faculty and students, with ample opportunities to conduct cutting-edge research alongside faculty experts.

After completing all the required courses and the Ph.D. qualifying and comprehensive exams, students often gain practical experience through internships, which creates new opportunities to analyze data, and case studies that are potentially useful for pursuing a doctoral dissertation. Students are also encouraged to serve in teaching and research assistant positions.

Our doctoral students gain relevant, cross-disciplinary experience that prepares them to be business innovators and leaders in academia, industry, government, and consulting. Students benefit from a legacy of curricular innovation at Stuart and Illinois Tech, spanning more than 125 years of economics and business education, including offering the world’s first postgraduate program in quantitative finance and establishing the academic discipline.
