Meet The Faculty
Not all graduate banking schools are alike…
In fact, one unique difference, and distinct advantage, of the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is our faculty. The highly-regarded faculty — 90% of whom are current or former bankers — are respected nationwide for their expertise in banking-related issues and bring real-world examples to the classroom. Faculty are subject to change.
