Department or Program Summary
The https://business.uoregon.edu/faculty/departments/finance is one of five academic units (accounting, marketing, management, and operations and business analysis being the other four) that make up the Lundquist College of Business (Lundquist), which is one of nine colleges and schools within the University of Oregon (UO).
The Department of Finance is well known for our expertise in empirical corporate finance and investments research. We draw researchers from around the world to our biennial “Oregon Summer Finance Conference,” and our research is topical, finding its way into federal policy discussions, litigation, and business decision making. Our department also benefits from a highly skilled cadre of teachers who are effective in bringing perspective and decision-making tools to our students at the Undergraduate, Masters, and PhD levels. At every program level our students are well placed in their target job markets, reflecting demand for the students who have been expertly trained in financial economics. We have innovated in our curriculum, most recently by adding a Python for Finance course for our masters students, and we plan to add a data analytics class with Finance applications for our undergraduates.
In addition, our department developed and has nurtured for 20 years the UOIG (University of Oregon Investment Group), where undergraduate students manage approximately $2 million in assets, and now the master's Investment Group, which have placed students into rewarding careers in investment management (e.g. MScience), and corporate finance (e.g., Intel), and are flagship programs in Lundquist College. A large part of their success has been the active involvement of our research faculty. Furthermore, our PhD program is successfully training our students for academic careers. We have a 100% placement rate in academic positions.

About the University
The University of Oregon is one of only two Pacific Northwest members of the Association of American Universities and holds the distinction of a “very high research activity” ranking in the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. The UO enrolls more than 20,000 undergraduate and 3,600 graduate students representing all 50 states and 100 countries. The University of Oregon is guided by a diversity framework that involves a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion of all students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members. In recent years, the university has increased the diversity of its student body, as well as campus-wide efforts to build a welcoming, inclusive community. The UO's 295-acre campus features state-of-the-art facilities in an arboretum-like setting within the traditional homelands of the Kalapuya people.
Eugene often appears on lists of the most liveable communities in the country. It enjoys the cultural amenities of a larger city - hosting concerts that span the musical spectrum, a world-famous Bach Festival, and many other festivals and celebrations - and the accessible real estate, lack of traffic, and relaxed lifestyle of a small city. Recreational possibilities abound, ranging from hiking or mountain-biking picturesque trails to playing nationally ranked golf courses to running the same paths on which Olympic athletes train. (Known as Tracktown USA, Eugene hosts the US Olympic Track & Field trials, as well as numerous other sporting events tied to the Pac-12 athletic conference.) Eugene lies just 60 miles from ski resorts in the mountains to the east and 60 miles from the scenic Oregon coast to the west. In the heart of Oregon wine country, Eugene also enjoys a nationally recognized food scene.
