PROGRAM OVERVIEWThe Ph.D. Program in Accounting prepares students to conduct original research on accounting issues. Accounting research addresses substantive accounting topics with theories and methods drawn from disciplines such as economics, finance, psychology, mathematics, and statistics. Our faculty research represents a broad range of interests and research methods. The program offers broad-based interdisciplinary training that prepares our students for a career in academic research institutions.

We admit two to four students in residence each fall, and it takes four to five years to finish the program. Students are required to take about two years of coursework, pass written and oral comprehensive examinations, demonstrate proficiency in research and teaching, and defend a dissertation.
