Program Description
The goal of the Ph.D. program in accounting is to
provide rigorous instruction in behavioral
accounting theory, empirical methods, and the
application of quantitative tools to accounting
research. Students are introduced to contemporary
accounting research literature in the
Department’s doctoral seminars and also
take graduate course work outside the Department
to support their research interests (e.g., in
statistics, psychology, finance). In the
accounting research workshops, doctoral students
are exposed to faculty members’ and
visiting scholars’ research.. Faculty
members work closely with students and assist
them in developing and publishing research
projects. Upon completion, graduates will have a
comprehensive background in the theories,
research paradigms, tools, and methods of
behavioral accounting research, and will be
prepared to enter careers at the research
university level.
