As a finance PhD student at Chicago Booth, you’ll join a community that encourages you to think independently.

Taking courses at Booth and in the university’s Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics, you’ll gain a solid foundation in all aspects of economics and finance—from the factors that determine security prices to how firms make investment decisions.

The Finance PhD Program also offers the Joint Program in Financial Economics, which is run by Chicago Booth and the Department of Economics in the Division of the Social Sciences at the University of Chicago.
