What can we do to continue improving? [[User:Daw44|Daw44]] 09:08, 29 January 2009 (MST)
 
 
*Below I've brainstormed on how we might implement a student feature for PhD prep or doctoral students. I started with Professor Wood as an example. Ideas? Comments? --[[User:Emetts|Emetts]] 23:39, 16 January 2009 (MST)
 
: I like it, but let's go with someone else :-).  Go ahead and pick someone and then every week (nah, every two weeks, do something different).  Let's not implement until we have a little more what we want to put on there.  I think we could send the "chosen" person a brief survey.  What questions should we ask?

|-
 
|style="color:#000"|BYU's [http://marriottschool.byu.edu/soa School of Accountancy] offers a specialized [http://marriottschool.byu.edu/soa/curriculum/phdprep.cfm PhD Prep Track] as part of the Masters of Accountancy (MAcc) degree. The program is designed to prepare students to enroll in a Ph.D. program in accounting at another university after finishing their master’s degree. Students in both the five-year integrated program and the two-year graduate program are eligible to apply to the PhD Prep Track. The program involves Ph.D.-style seminars to learn about research and academic work, as well as coursework in mathematics, econometrics, and statistics. <div style="float:right; margin: 0 0 1em 1em;">[[Image:Infocircle.jpg]]</div> Students who participated in this program have been [[University's where Individuals Received their Ph.D.|highly successful in placing at research intensive Ph.D. programs]]. Those who complete their Ph.D. in accounting enter a field where there is [http://aaahq.org/temp/phd/AccountingFacultyUSCollegesUniv.pdf high demand], and it is projected that this will be the case for the foreseeable future. [[How much do accounting professors make?|Starting salaries]] for new professors in accounting are two to four times higher than starting salaries for MAcc graduates.

"Starting now, you must use your education not to say something impressive but to do something that will lift others and help them be successful.  In other words, you must use your education not to distinguish yourself from others but to devote yourself to them--to helping them grow and flourish, even if it seems at the expense of your own prominence and glory.  This is the way of our Savior."
