Accounting Concentration
Beginning in January 2019, UTRGV will accept students into the new Ph.D. in Business Administration with an Accounting Concentration (Ph.D. BA-A). The Ph.D. Program in business administration is designed primarily to prepare students for careers in research and teaching at the university level. The program prepares students to be highly effective researchers by providing academically rigorous and state-of-the art training in business administration. The Accounting Concentration equips students with strong research skills that allow them to produce high quality research pertaining to the valuation and stewardship role of accounting information for organizations. Students specializing in this area conduct high quality research on topics such as capital markets, auditing, and corporate governance among others. Area faculty have published in top accounting journals including Auditing - A Journal of Practice and Theory, Accounting and Finance, Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Finance, Journal of International Accounting Research, and Journal of Management Accounting Research, among others.
