with The University at Albany

Albany Law School and The University at Albany have been working with practicing professionals since 2006 to educate students and research critical issues in financial market regulation.

Our program seeks to generate skilled professionals required to improve the regulatory system for the financial industry, as well as provide critical research and analysis for the industry. Our approach draws from the different disciplines required to comprehend the breadth of financial market regulation, specifically:

the business of financial markets

the law of financial regulation

public policy affecting the markets

the information technology systems that drive regulation systems

Our partners include regulatory organizations, law firms and financial firms.

Our research focuses on how business, law, public policy and technology shape financial regulation today.

Our students gain knowledge and skills that prepare them for supervising the complex world of financial markets.
