Our program strives to prepare students for research-oriented academic careers. We train our students so they are able to contribute to accounting literature and teach various accounting courses.<br><br>Our department prides itself on the research accomplishments and the broad research interests of our faculty ranging from financial, managerial, and tax accounting to auditing, accounting for non-profit organizations, and accounting theory. The faculty and students collaborate in many research projects. Some of these projects were published in top-tier journals when students were at Bauer and after they have graduated. Bauer Ph.D. program is a full-time five-year commitment.
