Teaching

Excellence in teaching is our highest priority. As a faculty, we will give our foremost attention to preparing our students for successful entry and continued growth within the accounting profession. This requires that our teaching be current, relevant, and build lifelong learning skills.

Service to students is the primary reason for our existence as a department. Thus, the importance of all other activity is measured in terms of its benefit to our service to students. 

Our commitment to students extends beyond the classroom to advising and other extracurricular activities that add value to the educational process.

Students should receive our professional best at all times.

The university, the college of business, the department, the profession, and the community, all deserve our time and attention. As a department, we will be active in service to each of these constituents. At each level of service, we understand the requisite connection to our service of students.
