Overview

Our faculty at the University of Pittsburgh uses both archival and experimental methods to conduct research across a broad range of Accounting areas including managerial accounting, financial accounting, and auditing.

We have a collaborative environment in which students work closely with faculty to develop their research skills. While the program is primarily research-focused, we also provide mentorship to prepare doctoral students to become excellent teachers.

Collaborative Research

We have an excellent history of doctoral student/faculty collaboration, which often results in articles that are published in top journals. Our faculty members develop relationships with our students that result in a research collaboration that often lasts well beyond the doctoral program experience.
