Finance Ph.D. Stages An overarching theme of our program is involvement of the students in the research process as early, and as much, as possible. Towards that end, students take FIN 700 in the summer session immediately prior to their first Fall in the program. FIN 700 is an intensive 5-week course that gives the students the research skills necessary to participate in the research process from the very beginning of the program. Having acquired those skills, first year students are assigned to assist faculty with their ongoing research. The student continues in that role of research assistant over the remainder of their time in the program. Listed below is a typical Ph.D. program Timetable. | |
