Advisory Council
The Department of Accountancy Advisory Council is comprised of representatives from the state and across the country who work in public accounting firms, business and industry, government, education and nonprofit organizations. The council meets with the faculty of the Department of Accountancy annually. The mission of the Advisory Council is to foster relationships with representatives of accounting firms to achieve the following objectives:
- Gain a better understanding of the skills and attributes current and potential employers seek in our graduates
- Provide faculty with guidance in continually improving the accounting curriculum (the undergraduate and graduate programs and specific courses)
- Provide faculty with opportunities to interact with representatives to learn about current practices
- Familiarize representatives with the strengths and unique characteristics of our program
