About the Department

Department of Accounting Mission

We provide a collaborative learning environment that prepares our students to be responsible accounting professionals. We prepare our students to succeed personally and professionally while exhibiting high ethical standards. As a land grant university we have a primary responsibility to serve the citizens of Idaho. We also recruit students regionally and we attract students from other states and other countries.

We accomplish this mission by:

• Delivering a high quality program of accounting studies that encompasses the relevant features of a dynamic accounting and business environment:
        - For undergraduate students, deliver general preparation in accounting to provide a foundation for future study or employment.
        - For graduate students, build upon the foundation to prepare for an accounting career.
• Providing experiential learning opportunities for our students.
• Engaging in research that makes meaningful contributions to accounting practice and accounting education.
• Delivering and supporting outreach programs that build on our competencies within the college and meet the needs of our stakeholders.
• Sharing our accounting expertise in support of our state, our professions and the academic community.
