Accounting
Wharton's doctoral program in Accounting takes a multidisciplinary approach (including economics, operations management, and psychology) to meeting the needs of today's complex markets, integrating finance and economics with broader perspectives on organizational issues and the business environment.
Close working relationships with faculty members while at Wharton are an excellent learning experience, and the established relationships can continue throughout the student’s career. Our program is designed to provide students with opportunities to interact with faculty early in the program and to get started on relevant research. Two required elements of the program are the workshop colloquium and the first-year research assistantship.
Research by faculty and doctoral students focuses on the impact of accounting information and policy-making on such areas as the behavior of capital markets, the behavior of decision-makers within a firm, and the structure of firms in general.
Successful candidates possess a strong aptitude for abstract thinking and quantitative analysis. Recent graduates have taken positions at the University of Chicago, MIT, NYU, Ohio State University, and Northwestern.
