  Program Requirements

Prerequisites.

All Accounting doctoral students must complete prerequisite courses in Finance as well as undergraduate level courses in Statistics, Calculus, and Linear Algebra as well as doctoral level courses in Finance. The Accounting Program Director must approve courses satisfying the above prerequisites or exceptions to the policy.

Major  Requirements

All Accounting doctoral students must complete courses in three areas: Tools for Analytical Research (TAR), Primary Accounting and Support.

I. Tools for Analytical Research (TAR) area

In the TAR area, students typically take a selection of courses from the disciplines of statistics, economics, and/or finance. These courses provide the tools and skills necessary to understand and conduct doctoral-level research. The TAR area in accounting consists of six courses and students must earn a grade of "B" or better in each course to satisfy the TAR requirement. Note that this requirement means that TAR courses must be taken for a letter grade.

Students must take the following four TAR courses:

ECO 5403 Static Optimization (Microeconomics) MAR 6636 Quantitative Methods FIN 6804 Foundations of Financial Theory FIN 6842 Research Methods in Finance

Plus two of the following, depending on your track of study:

ECO 5416 Econometrics 1 (Archival Track) ECO 5423 Econometrics 2 (Archival Track) PSY 6919 Research Design and Analysis 1 (Behavioral Track) PSY 6919 Research Design and Analysis 2 (Behavioral Track)

II. Primary Accounting Coursework

The primary area courses and seminars provide opportunities for in-depth study. The following doctoral seminars and courses are required in accounting:

ACG 6885 Intro to Accounting Research (Fall) ACG 6696 Auditing Seminar (Spring) ACG 6896 Capital Markets Seminar (Fall) ACG 6939 Advanced Topics Seminar (Spring) ACG 6916 Research Paper Requirement

In addition to these courses, first and second year students will be registered to participate in a professional development series (GEB 6931). The development series is designed to introduce doctoral students to the roles and responsibilities of faculty, including research ethics, communication with faculty at other universities, the research review process, balancing research, teaching and service, among other topics.

The Accounting Research Colloquium (ARC) meets regularly (typically on Fridays) to share the results of recent research conducted by FSU faculty and doctoral students and by invited scholars from other universities. Attendance at the colloquium is required of all accounting doctoral students. All students also meet with a rotating faculty guide to discuss the invited scholar’s paper ahead of colloquium. For second year students, the professional development seminar requirement will be fulfilled through pre-colloquium participation.

Each student must complete a first-year paper proposal and a second- year research paper (ACG 6916). The first-year paper proposal is developed with the assistance of the Accounting Faculty during the first- year research assistantship. The first-year proposal is presented in the ARC at the end of the spring semester. The Accounting Ph.D. Program Committee will evaluate the proposal and presentation to determine whether the student is making substantial progress towards the degree. Unsatisfactory progress towards the degree results in dismissal from the program.

The second-year research paper is based on independent research by the student during the second year of the program under the supervision of a faculty member. It is the student’s responsibility to seek out at least one faculty mentor who will approve a written proposal by the spring term of the student’s second program year. Failure to obtain approval prior to the scheduled timing of the accounting preliminary examination may result in dismissal from the program. The second-year paper is presented in the ARC during the fall semester of the third year. Failure to present the paper during the fall semester of the third year may result in dismissal from the program. The Accounting Ph.D. Program Committee will evaluate the paper and presentation to determine whether the student is making substantial progress towards the degree. Unsatisfactory progress towards the degree results in dismissal from the program.

With the exception of ACG 6916, students must earn a grade of "B" or better in each course to satisfy the primary area requirement. Students must earn a grade of "S" in ACG 6916. Note that this requirement means that only ACG 6916 is taken on an S/U basis to satisfy the primary area requirement.

III. Support Area Coursework

Support area courses are selected to complement the primary area of study and to allow the student to pursue further his or her research interests. Normally, two courses are required in the support area. Support area course work is taken within and outside the College of Business. The support area will be a function of the student’s particular field of study and could include courses from Psychology, Statistics, Finance or Economics. Specific courses are selected in consultation with the Accounting Ph.D. Program Director. Courses must be approved by the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs. Students must earn a grade of "B" or better in each course to satisfy the support area requirement. Note that this requirement means that all support area courses must be taken for a letter grade. The Support Area courses cannot be used to satisfy other requirements.

Recommended support area courses include:

ECON 5427 Limited Dependent Variable Models (Archival Track) ECON 5424 Panel Data (Archival Track) ECON 5453 Experimental Economics (Behavioral Track) ECON 6176 Behavioral Economics (Behavioral Track)

Sample Course Sequence

Students enter the program in the summer semester prior to Fall matriculation and complete ACG 6939 along with any deficient pre-requisites (e.g., linear algebra).

TAR/SUPPORT = TAR area course OR support area course

Shu-Fen Wung, 2 Engineering researchers, awarded TRIF grant

Shu fen wung_nhg_2872-inline.jpg.

The University of Arizona College of Nursing’s Shu-Fen Wung, PhD, MS, RN, ACNP-BC, FAAN , a professor and director of Nursing-Engineering Initiatives, received a $120,000 Technology and Research Initiative Fund grant for her Personalized Intelligent Care for Older Adults with Infections project.

Wung is one of three principal investigators for the project. The others are from the College of Engineering: professor Janet Roveda, PhD , who has a joint appointment with the College of Nursing, and associate professor Jian Liu, PhD .

“Our research team is very excited and grateful to receive this TRIF grant,” said Wung. “Our proposed project aligns with the three focus areas of the TRIF, including the Internet of Things, data sciences, and artificial intelligence and machine learning. This grant will further my area of research and meet the College of Nursing’s strategic priority to create a center of health and technology to integrate nursing knowledge with engineering principles to design innovative solutions that enhance patient care, safety, overall health care outcomes and health equity.”

The project will develop a smart, multimodal sensing architecture together with deep learning models capable of modeling individualized health surveillance needs, Wung said. The sensors will adjust appropriate surveillance strategies and provide timely information to assist in the early recognition of infection and care decisions for vulnerable older adults in long-term care facilities.

“ One of my goals when I joined the University of Arizona was to bring together the fields of nursing and engineering to find ways to enhance patient care,” said Brian Ahn, PhD , dean of the College of Nursing. “Dr. Wung and her co-PIs at Engineering will be the first step on this journey, finding real-world solutions to help our most at-risk populations, including older adults. We look forward to their great work.”

Nurses often encounter practical challenges in patient care and are in a unique position to identify areas needing innovation, Wung said. Because of this, the college’s aim to be a center of health and technology will require creating interdisciplinary teams that can integrate nursing care and research with engineering principles.

“By working together with our partners in the College of Engineering and community partner, Via Elegante Assisted Living & Memory Care, we can develop advanced technologies with analytics to revolutionize health care by enabling nurses and care team to be more innovative, which will improve patient outcomes and health care delivery,” Wung said. 

Roveda added, “The College of Nursing, under Dean Ahn and Professor Wung’s leadership, is spearheading personalized care for aging populations.”

Terry Badger, PhD, RN, PMHCNS-BC , a professor, the Eleanor Bauwens endowed chair at the College of Nursing and the interim associate dean for research, said, “Dr. Shu-Fen Wung’s groundbreaking project unites the unique expertise of nursing and engineering to address critical health care challenges.”

TRIF is a program supported and approved by Arizona voters that creates impactful solutions to state and global problems, prepares students for the workforce of tomorrow and contributes as one of the largest economic engines for Arizona. TRIF grants go to all three state universities.

Women in Medicine and Science - Tanya Kalin, MD, PhD

Chase Congleton

Tanya Kalin, MD, PhD, professor of Child Health and Internal Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, seeks to move her research findings into clinical trials to evaluate treatments for metastatic lung cancer and chronic lung diseases in children and adults.

“For me, success is being able to implement our discoveries in the lab to improve the efficacy of patients' treatment in clinic and to make sure that it will reach the bedside as soon as possible,” Dr. Kalin said. “Whatever we are doing, the final goal is to move it into clinical trials and hopefully to develop new treatments based on our research.”

Dr. Kalin was born in the Ukraine and graduated from Pirogov’s National Medical school in Moscow, earning her MD and PhD. She completed her fellowship programs at the University of Chicago and University of Illinois at Chicago. Her fellowship research was in the cancer field focusing on novel molecules on the tumor cells that prevented activation of the immune cells.

She moved to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to start her independent career as an assistant professor, where she founded and directed her namesake Kalin Research Lab and became a full professor. Last year, she moved her laboratory to Phoenix, Arizona, to join the Phoenix Children’s Research Institute at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix.

Over the years, Dr. Kalin’s view of success changed. Before, she viewed success as being assessed by the number of impactful publications made. Now, she views it as implementing the discoveries she finds into real-life patient treatments.

Dr. Kalin specializes in lung health and believes the most important issue of her field is understanding how normal lung tissue repairs to prevent the development of fibrosis and other chronic lung diseases.

“After the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of people ended up with impaired lungs, having diminished lung function and severely compromised peripheral blood oxygenation,” Dr. Kalin said. “We want to understand why some patients recovered without any scarring, while other patients developed complications.”

Early in her research career, the field of cancer experienced a breakthrough with the discovery of checkpoint inhibitors, which have become a crucial therapy in cancer treatment by reactivating the immune system.

“This is a huge breakthrough in the cancer field, and that’s helped a lot of patients survive,” Dr. Kalin said.

“We can support our treatments by adjusting the response of our immune system. During the acute inflammation, the immune system is activated,” Dr. Kalin said. “When recovery happens, the immune system has to shut down. When this is not occurring, the injury continues and is driven by the immune system.”

Dr. Kalin believes people should not be limited by abilities or gender. In the present day, people have the possibilities to learn what they want and get the education they need and deserve to pursue their dreams.

“We need to encourage young girls to go into STEM, medical schools and research because with our creativity as women, we can bring more ideas and implement them into new treatments to move the research and clinical field forward,” Dr. Kalin said.

Despite working in a male-dominated field, Dr. Kalin said she never felt isolated or alone. She encourages women to understand they can have the same education and knowledge to bring their expertise to the table.

“I worked with everyone depending on what skill or expertise my research needed,” Dr. Kalin said. “I believe combining different expertise not dependent on gender is the most important thing to achieve progress.”
