Jeffrey Coles, Ph.D.
Finance Department Chair

Greetings!

Welcome to the website for the Department of Finance at the W. P. Carey School of Business. We have a great deal to offer students, prospective faculty, and friends of the department. I hope that you enjoy your virtual tour of our department.

The Finance Department is one of the leading research and teaching departments in the world, and I am personally proud of the accomplishments of our faculty and students. In this website you will have access through links to the research of our faculty. I invite you to examine past faculty research as well as the very active research agenda in progress that has resulted in our department being ranked among the best in the world.

Our faculty is dedicated to providing a quality educational experience to students at all levels. The Finance undergraduate program is one of the largest majors at the W. P. Carey School and is also among the most selective. For students pursuing graduate study, Financial Management and Markets and Real Estate Finance are both major tracks within the flagship full-time MBA. In our Ph.D. program, students work closely with our distinguished faculty from the time they enter the program through the dissertation. Recent placements of our doctoral graduates include major research departments across the country.

The Department of Finance is also very much engaged with the business community. Our Advisory Board, comprised of senior executives in financial and non-financial business firms, helps us to ensure that our curriculum is informed by the most current business needs and practices to complement the cutting-edge research conducted by our faculty. Clearly, we believe that the partnership between our department and the business community is a key element to the strength of our programs.

Thank you for your interest in the Department of Finance at the W. P. Carey School of Business. For additional information, please contact us at wpcareyfin@asu.edu.
