First-Year Summer Paper

An independent research project, under the guidance of a faculty member, is undertaken in the summer following the first year in the doctoral program. Students enroll in Acct. 460 and received three credit hours. It is the student's responsibility to develop a project in consultation with an interested faculty member. Students receive a research stipend from the School of Accountancy equivalent to a summer TA/RA appointment. A final draft of the project report must be presented in one of the weekly Friday seminars before the end of the subsequent winter semester.
