I'm going to clear this out. Please keep posting suggestions and ideas. Daw44 16:22, 10 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? --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?

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
