program than the undergraduate program. African-American enrollment also lags the percentage foundat the undergraduate level.One area that has seen considerable growth is the number of students pursuing the earlyadmissions option in the MACY program. This option, which allows students who meet the regular GPAand GMAT score qualifications for admission to the MACY to begin taking graduate classes in whatwould traditionally be their senior year, has grown in popularity among students who are pursuingcareers in public accounting, especially with the large firms. We applied for and received funding fromthe E&Y Foundation to allow us to give scholarships to highly-qualified students who might nototherwise enter the early admissions program. This has allowed us to provide scholarship funding tofive additional students who agree to enter the MACY through the early admissions option each year.Graduate ServicesGraduate program administration is handled through the Office of Graduate Programs (OGP).OGP staff provides admissions counseling, handle admissions and graduation documentation andprovide general advising. The Graduate Advisor of Record, an accounting faculty member, is responsiblefor program advising and approval of all class substitutions and other program decisions.The College of Business Graduate Business Career Services (GBCS) offers job-seeking/careeradvancingprofessionals the tools to advance in their career through one-on-one coaching andworkshops offered as part of the Career Management Series. The series begins with “Intro to GBCS,”allowing the assistant director to identify and engage top talent for internship and full-timeemployment. The department has a faculty internship coordinator who facilitates all accountinginternships. He works with the GBCS to identify candidates for internships. He also handles alladministrative details and solicits evaluations from employers.Ph.D. EnrollmentsSince its inception in 2002, 31 students have enrolled in the accounting PhD program at UTSA.Of that total, nine have graduated, two have voluntarily withdrawn, four have been exited and 16remain in the program. Twenty-nine percent of the enrollees have been minority students, and 35.5%Caucasian-non-Hispanic Americans and 35.5% international students. An exit rate of slightly less than20% is low by the standards of many PhD program and reflects the close contact between faculty andstudents in our program plus the small size of the program. It is our objective to increase the number ofminority students enrolled in our program. We recruit heavily at the KPMG PhD project as well as otherschools in the region. Although our minority student enrollment is significantly higher than other PhDprograms in the United States, we prefer for the percentages to be more consistent with ourundergraduate enrollment percentages.25

The majority of the students leave after four years. Some support is available in the fifth yeardepending on the teaching needs of the department. All but one of the graduates completed theprogram in five years or less. Due to health problems, one student completed the program in sevenyears. Three students, who are ABD and teaching at other institutions, are in their sixth year in theprogram. The faculty recognized a problem with the time it was taking the students to complete theprogram so, beginning with the 2011-12, academic year, the PhD seminars have been resequenced toallow students to take comprehensive examinations one semester earlier.To this point, all students who have entered the market have been successfully placed in tenuretrackpositions. Given the difficult condition of the market in the last three years this has been a majorconcern.Table 5.4Ph.D. Placements (including ABDs)Murray State University 1Stephen F.
