The future development of the accounting profession depends upon the quality of the educational foundation on which it rests. The Department of Accounting is committed to the support of professional accounting through the delivery of educational experiences directed toward practice and through research that addresses the important policy issues of the day.

The mission of the department is to prepare students for careers in accounting, to interpret and expand accounting knowledge, and to render service to the profession and communities. The department does so by:

  1. Providing a learning environment in which students are encouraged to interact with others in identifying and solving accounting and business problems
  2. Investigating, developing and sharing knowledge, which has the potential for significant influence on accounting, business and education
  3. Interacting with the accounting profession, the business community and the community at large
