Our faculty members have held a variety of senior positions for well-known employers including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Federal Reserve Banks of St. Louis and Atlanta, Research Affiliates, Ibbotson Associates, and Goldman Sachs. Our graduates join a thriving network of alumni who have gone on to successful careers in investment or commercial banking, corporate finance, fund management, real estate, and other facets of the financial services industry.
