The mission of the Accounting Department is excellence in accounting education through teaching, enhanced by research and service. We lead and encourage students and working professionals in developing their abilities to use and integrate accounting information with other information to make better decisions, to thrive in their careers, and to continue life-long learning.

The Accounting Department provides an education for students who wish to be management professionals with a thorough knowledge of the essential concepts of accounting and a strong background for students desiring professional careers in public, private, government, and not-for-profit accounting.

The accounting courses are taught in a framework of modern business complexity so that the students develop their decision-making skills in realistic environments and learn the wide range of ways in which the accountant’s skills are used to effectively manage an enterprise.

The Accounting Department is also committed to and supports the research efforts of the faculty of the department.

Finally we appreciate the strong support from our alumni, firms, and friends of the department. Thank you for the many ways you support our mission.
