Accounting forms the core of businesses large and small. Its broader implications extend to government policy and international relations.
With the national and international business economy constantly evolving, our accounting faculty members keep ahead of the curve through their engagement with ongoing research.
We provide undergraduate and masters students with excellent conceptual and technical skills that will allow them to excel in productive and successful careers as future business leaders in public, corporate, or governmental accounting.
