    Accounting, PhD

    Program Description

    The Lundquist College of Business Doctoral Program in Accounting prepares students for careers as accounting faculty at colleges and universities that value scholarly research.

    We believe this objective can best be attained by having faculty work closely with students and monitoring students’ progress throughout the program. The accounting program also encourages joint research projects between faculty and students and maintains a learning environment that is supportive of students. The primary focus is to train students to use economic reasoning to produce research of sufficient quality to warrant publication in top academic journals.
