Welcome From the Chair

The Department of Accountancy has been preparing students for careers in accounting and taxation since 1950.  Today's department, accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), offers degrees at the undergraduate, masters and doctoral levels.

Our faculty is our main resource. Our professors have received their degrees from some of the best doctoral programs in the US, including Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, MIT, and Stanford.  Members of our faculty have also taught in some of the best business programs, such as Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke, INSEAD, Stanford, and Yale. Please visit our faculty page for more information about our superb faculty.

Besides top-notch faculty and a full range of courses, we support a number of other activities that help our graduates develop successful professional careers. We support student organizations (Beta Alpha Psi and the Institute of Management Accountants) that give students the opportunity to meet and learn from successful practitioners, many of whom are our graduates.  In addition, we host an annual series of seminars at which leaders of the academic accounting community present their current research.

We have prepared this web site to provide essential information about our department. If you do not find what you're looking for, please contact us.
