Accounting, PhD

Doctorate in Business Administration option in Accounting
The accounting PhD program produces high-quality academics who are prepared for successful
careers in research, teaching and professional engagement in a university setting.
Students are exposed to research and quantitative methods from economics, statistics, finance, management information systems and the
behavioral sciences. The OSU program is small enough for doctoral students to work closely with faculty
in a mentoring relationship. We encourage doctoral students and faculty to actively
work together on research projects that are directed at publication in the top accounting
research journals. We seek students with great research potential, as evidenced by
a desire and ability to contribute to the body of accounting literature. Our students
also possess excellent interpersonal skills necessary to become top teachers and research
colleagues.
Admission to the accounting Ph.D. program is suspended for the 2021/2022 academic year.
