Overview
By the completion of the program, students are expected to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the theoretical, conceptual, and research foundations of accounting.
While teaching is an integral part of an academic position in accounting and is required by students in the program, the primary focus of the Accounting program from Louisiana State University is the acquisition of research skills. The combined experiences achieved through the PhD Program are designed to prepare the student to be a researcher, teacher, and colleague at the university level.
Program Details
Focus is to develop accounting scholars who are proficient and motivated to succeed in accounting academics. The program is designed to be completed in four years; students are given an opportunity to teach before graduation. In addition to graduate assistantships, we also offer support for students to attend doctoral consortiums and present papers at national and regional conferences providing opportunities for scholarly development, networking, and recruitment.
Faculty see the role of mentor as essential and are vested in spending time with these students to mentor and help develop their research and teaching practices. Doctoral students are encouraged to collaborate with faculty on research projects during and after the program. Interactions among PhD students bolster the department’s collegial, mentoring environment.
