Accounting isn't only for CPAs — it's the foundation for success in business, no matter your job title. When you study accounting at Cox, you'll get more than a rigorous education in theory, technical proficiency, and a thorough grounding in business. You'll learn everything you'll need to become an ethical professional with strong leadership skills, an understanding of culture and society, and the ability to manage complexity and ride change — or drive it.
Cox professors are tackling practical questions and publishing new insights in accounting. For instance: In an era of superfast algorithms, how do high-frequency traders affect market price efficiency? How should banks structure capital? How do their choices affect lending prices? At Cox, students join the conversation with accounting's leading lights.
