Finance Discipline as a Major

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).
