Brad is fantastic. He has industry experience in investment banking. There is a lot of reading but the reading is not required. Also, he leverages his network to bring in industry guest speakers. The power lectures are intense. Attendance is not required but there are cases at the end of class in the first half of class.Rate My Professors ↗

Brad is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is the head of the MBA-Corporate Finance. He is readily available. He teaches modeling and as a former investment banker he know how to teach it. I learned tons. He pushes you to be your best self. Cant wait to take Mergers and Acquisitions with himRate My Professors ↗

Brad Chandler is the best teacher in Madison, ask anyone that has met him. He is one of the main reasons I got my job offer out of college because his course prepares you to be an efficient, hard-working professional that delivers results right out of undergrad. If you want to do a career in Finance, apply for the Nicholas Center Analyst ProgramRate My Professors ↗
