About Our Undergraduate Finance and Legal Studies Faculty

  • A finance professor helps a student in the financial trading lab

    SIMULATED TRADING LAB:  Modeled on actual financial market trading floors, this “mock” trading group experience brings you as close as possible to real-time experience. Access to Bloomberg financial data gives you a window into the stimulating arena of moving money.

    Worldly Investment and Law Experience in the Classroom

    Many finance and legal studies faculty arrive with backgrounds in business and higher education: an investment banker, a public defender, and a vice president of marketing now guide IUP students. Professors also have earned doctoral degrees from this nation’s finest universities. But most importantly, our professors are committed to teaching you and developing close, collaborative relationships with their students.

    • Our professors are active in ongoing financial market research that helps keep the curriculum relevant and up-to-date.
    • Former law practitioners bring courtroom and corporate boardroom savvy to the classroom.
    • Presentations and numerous publications of unique business research distinguish a faculty that spans the gap between theory and practical applications.
    • Financial market trading floor insights are shared by instructors who also provide a guided tour through the Wall Street Journal—essential and required reading for all finance majors.
