PhD Minor in Finance
Requirements
The Finance Department is happy to work with doctoral students from around The University of Arizona who wish to minor in Finance. Depending on the student's prior knowledge of finance and major interest, there are two alternative tracks to complete the requirements for a minor in finance, each requiring four graduate-level finance courses. Two prerequisite SAS camps are required before starting finance PhD coursework.
- Accounting PhD SAS Camp (offered for five weekdays in late July)
- Finance PhD SAS Camp (offered for two weekdays in late July, immediately following the Accounting PhD SAS camp)
Email the Finance PhD Director for dates and registration in the SAS camps at financeinfo@email.arizona.edu.
