The mission of the Department of Accountancy at Miami University is to engage with and prepare students to excel as high integrity, adaptive business leaders who leverage their accountancy expertise and diverse skill set to meaningfully contribute to the global community. The department also seeks to enable faculty members to be outstanding instructors whose scholarship informs their teaching and who positively impact the profession, academy, university, and community. The Department of Accountancy has been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International since 1984, with the AACSB most recently extending accreditation in 2021.
Our undergraduate accountancy curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to succeed in an increasingly dynamic business environment. Our master’s curriculum provides an in-depth understanding of selected areas of accounting and the knowledge and skills to prepare graduates for long-term success in an accounting-related career. This program qualifies graduates for the CPA examination in Ohio and most other states.
