core finance areas of study include: asset

extending their knowledge and equipping
them with broad research and process finance

contribution to their chosen fields.
AIU’s Doctorate degree in Finance
goes one step further by allowing students
to study and research multiple key areas
of computer science to develop a unique
foundation of practical knowledge and computer
science theory.
Your AIU Distance Learning Doctorate program
in Finance will be a custom-made program,
designed just for you by you and your advisor.
This flexibility to meet your needs is seldom
found in other distance learning programs.
Our program does not require every student
to study the same subjects and use the same
books and other learning materials as every
other student. Instead our online Doctoral
programs are designed just for you. They
are individually designed to meet your needs
and help you to reach your professional
and personal goals.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
