MISSION
Our Mission
The national prominence of our
department stems from the reputation
for excellence of our programs and
research of our faculty. A primary goal is
to provide undergraduate and Master of
Accountancy students with a broad and
deep educational experience that will
facilitate their professional growth.
This objective entails providing students
with a strong technical foundation in core
accounting competencies; developing
their skills in critical thinking, analysis,
and communication; and fostering an
awareness of ethical matters and a sense
of professional integrity and judgment.
We also seek to educate students from
other departments in a manner that
enables them to become informed users
of accounting information.
We aim to cultivate the future leaders
in the academic community by training
and working with doctoral students.
Promoting the research enterprise,
which requires faculty to update
their professional skills continually
by participating in the creation and
dissemination of accounting knowledge,
is critical in its own right and in
accomplishing our curriculum goals.
