Founded in 1819, the University of Cincinnati is recognized as one of the Most Beautiful College Campuses (Forbes). As part of a thriving, top-25 research university in a city with many Fortune 500 companies, the Lindner College of Business delivers academic excellence with an emphasis on experiential learning in a multi- disciplinary environment. We empower business problem solvers, adding real-world value to students and the communities they serve. The college’s new $120 million, 225,000-square-foot facility, opened in Fall 2019, firmly positions Lindner among the nation’s best business schools with high growth potential. 

The Finance Department offers undergraduate majors in finance, real estate, and insurance and risk management.   The department also has a PhD program and offers a Master’s in Finance and graduate certificates in 1) Quantitative Investing, 2) Applied Artificial Intelligence in Finance,   3) Investments, and 4) Real Estate.  The Finance major is the second largest in the college and in the top 5 across the University. The Real Estate major is growing rapidly in addition to being one of the largest minors in the college.  Finally, the insurance and risk management major has grown from zero to one of the top 15 nationally in eight years.   

The Finance Department houses several centers that bring together academia and practice by connecting students, faculty, and practitioners in a variety of formats.  The Johnson Investment Institute (JII) brings together practitioners, students, alumni, and research faculty.  An important goal of the JII is providing students and faculty with access to state-of-the-art software and real-time data.  To that end, the JII manages the Johnson Investment Counsel Investment Lab.  The simulated trading floor found in the lab is a focal point of innovation within the new Lindner Hall.  The Carl H. Lindner III Center for Insurance and Risk Management seeks to understand and improve how economies, enterprises and individuals manage risk. The UC Real Estate Center is a resource for students and industry leaders to network and become immersed in the real estate industry. The Real Estate Center actively supports (1) corporate and industry-association partners, (2) scholarly research aimed at top-tier academic journals in real estate, urban economics, and finance, and (3) several undergraduate and graduate real estate programs.
