Welcome to PhDPrep.BYU.edu
An informational website for
Ph.D. prep students, graduates, and friends of BYU.

About the Ph.D. Prep Program

BYU's School of Accountancy offers a specialized 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 at BYU. Students in both the five-year integrated program and the two-year graduate program are eligible to apply to the program. The program involves Ph.D.-style seminars to learn about research and academic work, as well as other coursework in mathematics, econometrics, and statistics. However, this track does not require additional credits beyond those required in the MAcc program. Students who have participated in this program have been highly successful in placing at research intensive Ph.D. programs. Those who complete their PhD in accounting are able to enter fields where there is high demand, and it is projected that this will be the case for the foreseeable future. Starting salaries for new professors in accounting range from two to four times higher than starting salaries for MAcc graduates.
