The
field of accounting academics has been rapidly changing.
There has been an infusion of new ideas and
methodologies, which has served to align accounting more
closely with other disciplines including economics,
statistics, finance and management.
Graduates of our doctoral program will, through
formal coursework over two years, gain
a background, which will serve to well prepare them for
careers in accounting academia.
Our
doctoral program is research oriented.
Students are required to take several courses in
statistics, which constitutes a required minor area, two
research seminars in accounting, and attend research
colloquium to prepare them to contribute to the growing
body of academic accounting knowledge.
Each student must also designate a minor area in
addition to statistics.
Coursework and research seminars must be taken in
the designated minor area.
The
program generally takes four years to complete after the
masters degree, during
which time a student must maintain continuous full-time
enrollment. Coursework
normally takes two years to
complete, after which written comprehensive examinations
are taken in both accounting and the minor areas.
The final two years of the program are spent on the development and completion of a
dissertation.
We
have faculty currently performing research in all areas
of accounting: financial, audit, governmental,
cost/managerial, systems, and taxation.
The research performed by our faculty includes
behavioral research, market studies, and theoretical
modeling. Therefore,
we are able to provide a challenging and rewarding
environment in which students work closely with faculty
in their fields of interest.
