---

The accounting Department provides talented students with the knowledge necessary to successfully compete in tomorrow's business environment. The department upholds its tradition of excellence by recruiting highly respected and knowledgeable faculty, preparing students for professional licenses in accounting, and supporting theoretical and applied research projects relevant to accounting profession. In order to keep up with the quick pace of domestic and international economic development and to meet the need for high-level executives in the field of accounting, the accounting Department established the master program (MBA, with major in accounting) in 1990. Aspiring to raise the standards of research and education in accounting, the department also established a doctoral program in 1993.

The core curriculum of the accounting Department can be divided into four different concentrations: general accounting, auditing, taxation, and accounting information systems. In order to give students a broad knowledge of business fundamentals, the department also offers various elective courses that combine accounting and other business disciplines. Because accounting is by nature an applied social, the department puts a tremendous emphasis on the connection between theoretical study and practical application. Most core courses are designed to include case studies, and experts in the field are frequently invited to speak and interact with students at seminars and roundtable discussions organized by the department. Furthermore, many students volunteer for VITA (Voluntary Income Tax Assistance), helping individuals and small businesses file income tax returns, and gaining valuable experience in tax preparation process. Students wishing to obtain international exposure can participate in the exchange program between the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), and the Department of accounting at NTU. The program allows our students to simultaneously earn a Master of Science in accounting degree (MSA) from Illinois and an MBA degree with a concentration in accounting from NTU.
