The field of Behavioral Finance is one of the fastest growing areas in finance.  This growth is fueled by a desire on the part of investment professionals for a better understanding of the dynamics of asset selection and performance measurement.  Because of this interest, financial services firms have increased their demand for graduates who have had exposure to the field.  The field represents perhaps the most important new research streams in Finance in the last 10 years.

To complete the Behavioral Finance concentration, students must complete three courses:

• THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FINANCIAL DECISION-MAKING (FIN 581)
• THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FINANCIAL MARKETS (FIN 582)
• BEHAVIORAL ASPECTS OF CORPORATE FINANCE (FIN 583)
