Pics aren't bad, but they take up to much vertical space, can you make the pics for people at least, in two columns? Also, if you add those pics, we should probably drop that little people icon thing. I'm even more interested in making other pages look good. This page is decent, but some of the pages after this get pretty boring and ugly. Daw44 10:34, 22 December 2008 (MST)

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. 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.

Students who participated in this program have been highly successful in placing at research intensive Ph.D. programs. Those who complete their Ph.D. in accounting enter a field 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 are two to four times higher than starting salaries for MAcc graduates.

Learn more about the Prep Track by reading the History of the Prep Track.

Quote

"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." Elder Robert D. Hales, BYU Spring Commencement 2006 (full text available here) - more Quotes
