    PhD Programs in Investment

    A PhD is an advanced degree available to highly dedicated students after a vigorous course in their field of study. Usually the highest-level degree attainable, a PhD may require prerequisites such as a master's and/or bachelor’s degree.

    What is a PhD in Investment? Earning this degree can give individuals a strong background in finances and economics. Students will likely study how economic theories can be applied to banking and investments. They may learn specific math skills involving formulas and statistics that can be used to make predictions about the economy. A lot of the coursework may involve learning about what principles indicate good investments and which ones are not worth the risk.

    Specific knowledge of statistics and other math can help people better invest funds for themselves or for a company. Knowledge of the economy may help them recognize financial opportunities. The critical thinking used in investing could be applied to many aspects of everyday life, helping a person to be better at decision-making.

    Costs of earning a degree can vary from university to university. Depending on where students are enrolled and whether they need to earn other degrees first, the cost getting their PhD could change.

    People with a doctorate degree in the field of investment could potentially be prepared to conduct further research in the theory of investment management as an economist or teach about investing as a professor at a university or college. They could also take a job as a financial advisor to a company or work as a freelance consultant. Having such a high level of degree should help to ensure that students are prepared to take on world-class challenges and projects in their field.
