Our Mission

The mission of the Department of Accountancy is to prepare 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 Boler School of Business to develop the student as a total person.  To meet its mission, the department offers two professional options:  the M.B.A., and the M.S. in Accountancy.  Scholarships, made possible by alumni endowment donations, are available to all qualified students.

The Master of Science in Accountancy is offered by The Graduate School through the John M. and Mary Jo Boler School of Business, whose mission is to develop and inspire tomorrow’s leaders through educational excellence in the Jesuit tradition.

The Boler School of Business carries out this mission by:

• Striving to foster the ongoing development of the highest standards of personal integrity among all members of its community.

• Promoting the achievement of educational excellence through a challenging course of studies.

• Emphasizing the development and implementation of innovative techniques that keep it at the forefront of the dynamic business-education environment.

• Nurturing the intellectual, personal, and moral development of each student and inspiring each to become a person for others.

• Committing to incorporate an international dimension into its teaching, research, and service programs.

• Encouraging all of its constituents to develop a sense of belonging and responsibility within the community, to respect and care for one another, and to take actions that they believe promote the common good.

• Believing that scholarship is an essential part of the process that couples life-long learning with teaching excellence.
