Accounting: Strengths of the PhD Program
A World Leader in Accounting
The PhD Program in Accounting at the Rotman School is designed to prepare students for academic careers in accounting at leading research-oriented universities. Students benefit from rigorous training, close interaction with faculty, a fully funded program, and our exceptional placement record. The Financial Times ranks the Rotman School in the top 20 for faculty and research.
Accounting is a major strength of the Rotman School. Faculty members in the Accounting area come from universities such as Yale, Wharton, New York University and Kellogg, and specialize in everything from financial statement analysis to auditing to securities valuation. Their research is regularly featured in leading scientific journals in accounting, finance, economics, and management science.
For evidence of the Rotman Accounting group's international standing we encourage you to view the Brigham Young University's Accounting Research Rankings where Rotman has placed #1 worldwide for archival research, and #3 worldwide overall.
