History
LSU's Department of Finance offers high quality programs for the development and communication of knowledge in studies related to finance, real estate, risk management and insurance, and business law.

Research
The Department of Finance is dedicated to providing current, applicable research. The faculty of our department are devoted to publication of original scholarly research in investment and portfolio management, capital markets and institutions, and corporate finance, corporate governance, and capital investment. Two research centers call the Finance Department home, the Real Estate Research Institute (RERI) and the SMART Lab. The Real Estate Research Institute was formed to encourage, support, and conduct research in real estate. The Securities Markets Analysis Research and Trading Lab provides a high-tech, real-time learning environment for E. J. Ourso College students, faculty and visitors. The SMART Lab recreates a simulated interactive trading floor that allows students the opportunity to gain experience in the fast-paced world of securities analysis, research and trading.
