Hello my friend. No, I would not say that you are right here. Now, remember we tell all our client to simply GO TO THE BEST SCHOOL YOU GET INTO! So if you get into HBS, for example, you would NEVER choose CBS or Wharton over HBS. Now, all that being said, there are other Finance programs out there that are BETTER than the ones you’ve listed. For example, Stern and Stanford (according to many rankings) are known to be BETTER in finance than CBS. Sure CBS has Wall Street connections, but if I were in your shoes, from a purely finance perspective, Id add Stern and Stanford to the list. And of course, if you go to HBS, you should go there. Then again, I am a bit biased…
thx sir,I clearly know that my list is not that perfect and I'm very finance-oriented,so after I read ur message,I can relist them:HBS,Stanford,Wharton,Booth,CBS,NYU(maybe also,LBS),right?
UCLA Finance Ph.D. Program Ranked #1 in the World A recently published article, using sophisticated statistical methods, ranked the UCLA Finance Ph.D. Program #1 in the world. The article looks at the joint contribution of the university granting the Ph.D. degree and the institution one is placed at as an assistant professor. The 2009 article from The Financial Review, published by Kam Chan, Carl Chen, and Hung Fung, is entitled, "edigree or Placement? An Analysis of Research Productivity in Finance." The research study ranks the UCLA Finance Ph.D. Program as #1 at enhancing the publication record of its students in the top three finance journals. The study also notes the top five universities for an assistant professorship in finance (which includes UCLA). Approximately ten percent of UCLA finance Ph.D. graduates have ended up at these top five universities and an even greater percentage received offers from them.
Finance addresses the ways in which individuals, business entities and other organizations allocate resources over time. An applied branch of economics dealing with the problems of allocating financial resources, with particular attention given to the art of decision making under conditions of uncertainty, finance is closely allied with the liability side of an organization's balance sheet.
At UCLA Anderson, a specialization in Finance includes an examination of the funding markets and processes for financing enterprises, as well as the effects of prices and interest rates on assets and liabilities.
The UCLA Anderson faculty includes three former presidents of the American Finance Association: Eduardo Schwartz (California Professor of Real Estate), Michael Brennan (Emeritus, Irwin and Goldyne Hearsh Chair in Banking and Finance), Richard Roll (Japan Alumni Chair in Finance).
