Abstract

The general objective of this research is to analyze the curricular characteristics of the Brazilian and North American PhDs in Finance, and its specifics objectives are: (i) to explore the requirements to entrance and exit of these courses; and (II) to present the obligatory and
optional disciplines offered thereby. For the purpose of this study, the Brazilian PhDs in Finance are the PhDs in Business with specialization in Finance. 11 Brazilian and 24 North American doctorate courses have been analyzed, and the necessary information have been collected from
the internet pages concerning relevant programs, from available PhD brochure and out of links of the structure of the course. The results regarding the entrance and exit requirements have demonstrated that: nine of the 11 Brazilian courses demand Test ANPAD, whereas all the
North American ones demand the GMAT; interviews are carried through by all the Brazilian courses, but by only five North American programs; full-time is requirement of all the North American courses, differently from the Brazilian programs; publications in seminars/journals are requisite to exit for six national doctorate courses, being that the North American courses demand only working papers. Respecting obligatory and optional disciplines, the North American courses offer a bigger amount and diversity thereof, as the Brazilian ones do not provide any obligatory disciplines in Finance.
