>behavioral finance;  organizational ecology;  consumer decision making;  the

>here.
>
>In our dynamic scholarly community, about 100 students work closely with
>over 100 faculty members who are pursuing research at the leading edge of
>their fields.  With a student-faculty ration of 1-to-1, faculty collaborate
>with students, encourage them, help them to develop new insights into
>important problems, and challenge them as they develop their own original
>research interests and launch their careers as scholars.
>
>No specific courses are required to begin our doctoral programs, and
>students come from a variety of schools and undergraduate majors, including
>economics, political science, psychology, sociology, mathematics, computer
>science, engineering, and the humanities and sciences.  Students in our
>program are fully funded for four years (full tuition plus living expenses).
