The Department of Accounting provides high-quality, balanced accounting
education to majors as well as other undergraduate and MBA students. Quality
teaching is our most important function. We engage students in the development
of communication, conceptual and technical skills. To exemplify an enthusiasm
for professional activity, faculty maintain their own intellectual curiosity and
community awareness. Accordingly, faculty are active scholars and contribute
positively to students' experience, and to the department, college, university,
profession and community service.
Our objectives support the combined mission of teaching, scholarship and
service.
Teaching
- Integrate a broad range of accounting skills with an appreciation of
ethical, cultural and environmental issues as they relate to accounting and
business law.
- Promote oral and written communication, computer, research and group
skills.
- Prepare students to become productive accounting and business
professionals.
- Review and modify the curriculum to meet changing societal needs.
Scholarship
- Produce, apply and disseminate knowledge in accountancy and business law
as well as in the pedagogy of these disciplines. Faculty are encouraged to
pursue scholarly projects that suit their professional talents and interests
consistent with the mission of the College of Business and Economics.
Service
- Serve the professional and broader communities.
