Research

Faculty Interests

The faculty’s depth of research achievement and quality of teaching constitute the strength of the program. The senior faculty are widely recognized as leaders in their contributions to the educational and research growth of the profession. For example, in a 1987 study, the finance faculty was ranked 13th in the nation in research publications in scholarly journals. In addition, they serve as officers of many national professional organizations and as reviewers for most major scholarly publications in the areas of finance, insurance and real estate. We are particularly proud of our junior faculty, who are actively researching new theories and expanding the knowledge of our profession.

Student-Faculty Interaction

The University of Florida is unusual in the extent to which faculty and doctoral students work closely with one another to develop each student’s research and teaching skills. This interaction begins with the student’s assignment to work as a research or teaching assistant, and continues in the form of informal contact with individual instructors and other faculty.
