David Dicks "My experience at Kellogg could only be described as wonderful. The program is challenging, and the faculty expect great things from you. Further, the professors here are very helpful and are willing to discuss ideas with you if it is in their area. This direction is very helpful in starting your career. Kellogg has a very solid schedule of seminars, which bring in outside speakers presenting their research. Also, the bag lunches provide a platform to share ideas with the department. Together, these forums provided a valuable way of keeping up with current research. When I arrived, I thought I would like to work in asset pricing. After my f rst year, however, I discovered that I was more interested in corporate finance. Besides the faculty in Finance, the Managerial Economics department has been a great resource to me in my studies."

The Finance Department at the Kellogg School is one of the leaders in research in financial economics. Current theoretical and empirical research in the finance department spans the areas of asset pricing, corporate finance, financial institutions, international finance, market microstructure, regulation and related economic theory and econometrics.

The finance doctoral program provides students with a rigorous background in finance, both theoretical and empirical, economics, mathematics and statistics. These tools, plus opportunities for supervised independent research, enable students to make their own contributions to the understanding of financial markets and institutions. Doctoral students are trained to be future faculty members at leading research universities.
