Department of Accounting and MIS is a highly diverse department, with
faculty producing high quality research in publications and in the top

hold Ph.D.s and certification in public accounting and/or managerial and
IS areas. Accounting & MIS faculty bring in distinguished guest
lecturers and professionals from firms and companies to speak on topics

Computing is an integral part of the learning process and
students are strongly encouraged to purchase a computer.
Wireless network hubs are installed in the student lounges and
common areas in both Purnell Hall, Alfred Lerner Hall, and in some

from its own state-of-the-art computing lab, an SAP "Enterprise-wide"
