MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Department of Accountancy at John Carroll University is to prepare undergraduate and graduate students for careers in professional accounting and for licensure as Certified Public Accountants. This preparation is to be realized through a broad-based, liberal arts education consistent with the values characteristic of Jesuit higher education and congruent with the missions of the University and the John M. and Mary Jo Boler School of Business to develop the student as a total person.

The Department of Accountancy further seeks to develop and provide quality service courses for other undergraduate and graduate areas of study within the University and to provide quality service to other internal and external constituencies.

To achieve this mission, the Department of Accountancy mandates its faculty to:

•  demonstrate quality in the classroom through teaching that stresses rigor, discipline, method, and high standards.
  
•  make intellectual contributions; maintain currency with regard to professional practice; pursue professional interactions; and serve campus, community, professional, and academic organizations.
  
•  promote active faculty-student rapport through student advising, mentoring, and career guidance.
  
•  recognize ever-changing business conditions by exposing accounting students to aspects of global business, information technology, and the application of professional ethics/morals, as well as instilling technical competence and analytical skills.
