Finance PhD Syllabi

Hi. I am currently a sophomore at UCLA and am interested in pursuing a PhD in Finance after graduating. To anyone who is currently a PhD candidate for a finance program, can you share any syllabi you may have for the required finance courses during the first 2 years of the program? I am curious to how the courses are structured and am interested to see what the course load is like. Thank you!
