Accounting
Information and Management
The Department
of Accounting Information and Management (AIM) trains doctoral
students to analyze contemporary accounting problems using
the latest research techniques and to teach graduate level
courses effectively.
Prior
education or training in accounting is not required for admission,
although students are expected to have demonstrated interest
in accounting issues before entering the program and must
evidence the desire to make significant contributions to research
in accounting. Doctoral students are expected to seek academic
positions at leading research universities upon completion
of their degree.
Faculty
research interests range widely and include the study of the
information content of accounting numbers, the causes and
consequences of changes in firms' disclosure policies and
practices, the impact of information intermediaries on financial
markets, and the effects of changes in accounting methods
on management behavior. One of the important strengths of
the AIM PhD program is that faculty research interests encompass
both analytical (theoretical) and empirical/archival methods
thus providing PhD students with the benefits of rigorous
training in both research methodologies.

Department Web site for more information. |

| "A doctoral program in accounting provides me the opportunity to study information economics in an applied, real-world context. The accounting faculty at Kellogg offer students strong training in both the empirical and theoretical aspects of accounting research, in and outside the classroom. I feel that a PhD from Kellogg is a great starting point for a successful career in academia. Graduate school is an intense and challenging experience, and it’s great to be able to share it with such a capable and fun group of students as the ones here at Kellogg." |
