Working successfully in today's organizations means working as part of a team – a team of diverse, forward-thinking individuals constantly striving to deliver fully integrated client solutions in an atmosphere of continuous learning.

In the Charles W. Lamden School of Accountancy, we prepare students for a lifetime of continuous, self-directed learning. Whether they choose public accounting or accounting positions leading to financial management in business or industry, they are well prepared for the real world. Our faculty enjoys a national reputation for its innovations in accounting education and its contribution to the body of knowledge in accounting, auditing, and taxation.

Immersion in Accounting Education

Generally, a student's experience is a totally new experience in education. They learn both individual responsibility and the excitement of teaming together to accomplish challenging objectives. The level and volume of work is not trivial. Students are challenged by the integration of technical content and the development of expanded skills and competencies that are integral to success in business. We expect our students' best effort and they grow to expect no less of themselves.
