The Department

The Department of Finance supports one of the largest and most in-demand programs at the Tippie College of Business, serving more than 1,200 undergraduate finance majors—Tippie’s most declared major—and playing a vital role in the College’s expanding online MBA program. Tippie’s online MBA finance concentration was ranked #16 nationally in the 2026 U.S. News & World Report rankings.

With 16 tenure-track finance faculty contributing more than 34,000 Google Scholar citations and instructional-track faculty delivering high-impact, applied finance education across undergraduate and online MBA programs, the Department of Finance is consistently recognized as a leader in the field.



That reputation is further strengthened by faculty whose internationally respected expertise elevates both teaching and research—from Department Executive Officer Erik Lie being named a Time 100: Most Influential People in the World for his groundbreaking research on options backdating, to Ann Campbell, an international thought leader in transportation logistics. Students and faculty also benefit from industry-standard financial data and analytics platforms, including Bloomberg and FactSet, which are fully integrated into coursework, assignments, and student projects. Exceptional student placement rates and top salaries underscore the department’s strong outcomes, with graduates making an impact across the business landscape, from leading Fortune 500 companies to shaping major mergers and acquisitions.
