Faculty

UCLA Anderson employs about 140 faculty members, half of whom have tenure. Most instructors have real-world experience that they integrate into teaching. For instance, the Anderson faculty includes four former presidents of the American Finance Assn. and a former global marketing officer at Procter & Gamble (PG), Jim Stengel. "I found the caliber of the faculty and students at Anderson to be outstanding," said a student surveyed by Bloomberg Businessweek. "At the same time, everyone I interacted with was truly warm and unpretentious."

Anderson has endowed chairs for faculty members with particular global interests and expertise. For example, Richard Roll serves as the Japan alumni chair in finance and Sebastian Edwards serves as the Henry Ford II chair in international management.
