Best Accounting , Accountancy graduate PHD programs - Updated 2020

The purpose of our PhD program is to train and prepare students for an academic career at institutions having teaching and research missions in a four-year program. Students enroll for ten hours a semester, and the course work requirements are completed in two and one-half years (five semesters). At the discretion of the Director, a follow-up oral examination may also be required if deemed necessary.

Criteria for admission includes a record of outstanding prior academic performance, a minimum GMAT score of 700, and strong letters of reference. Prior graduate study and work experience are highly desirable. Students admitted to the program normally have an accounting background and some professional work experience. However, we do consider applications from highly qualified applicants without work experience and with backgrounds in other fields.
