  Strategic Plan

The Department of Accounting and Business Law's commitment is to quality accounting education.

We share with the University of Southern Indiana and the College of Business a fundamental mission to be of service to Indiana and to increase post-secondary educational participation of young people and adults in our region. We strive to enable our graduates to take positions in the profession of accounting, to prepare students for advanced studies in accounting or business, and to provide the foundation for their future growth and development in the accounting profession.

Our highest priority is to have excellence in teaching. While emphasizing effective instruction in both the undergraduate and graduate programs, the Department’s primary focus is to prepare undergraduate students to be productive members of their profession and society.

We view research contributions in the field of accounting as being fundamental to the mission of the Department. We also acknowledge that service to the university, to the accounting profession, and to the community is fundamental to our mission.

By fulfilling our vision, we seek to become the preferred source of professionally trained accountants for employers in Southwestern Indiana.
