About 'a career in accounting'|Worth leaving accounting for a career in SAP








               So               you're               thinking               about               getting               your               PhD               in               accounting.

Naturally,               you               want               to               attend               the               best               accounting               PhD               program               out               there,               because               this               will               be               the               most               important               degree               of               your               career.

The               students               who               graduate               from               the               best               schools               will               have               the               best               opportunities               for               finding               work               at               high-paying               universities               and               getting               more               research               published.

The               more               research               you               publish,               the               more               likely               you               are               to               get               tenure.
               There's               no               substitute               for               the               best               education               possible,               but               choosing               the               best               accounting               PhD               program               for               you               is               a               little               trickier               than               just               applying               to               the               top               ranked               programs               overall.

When               you               get               a               PhD               in               accounting,               you'll               end               up               choosing               a               specialized               research               area.

While               it               is               possible               to               make               your               final               decision               after               beginning               your               PhD,               not               all               universities               offer               all               of               the               specialties.
               Here's               an               example:               one               specialized               area               is               experimental               audit               research,               which               focuses               on               studying               the               psychology               and               behavior               of               auditors.

This               may               be               a               fascinating               area               for               you,               but               according               to               a               top               professor               in               this               branch               of               study,               it               is               not               commonly               found               among               all               accounting               PhD               programs.
               Before               we               get               to               the               rankings,               let's               cover               a               little               bit               of               background               information               on               the               various               research               specialties               pursued               by               accounting               graduate               students               and               researchers.
               There               are               two               major               variables               to               consider               when               looking               at               accounting               PhD               specializations:
               Topic
               The               main               subject               areas               that               accounting               researchers               study               are:               Accounting               Information               Systems,               Audit,               Financial,               Managerial,               and               Tax.

There               are               some               areas               of               study               that               fall               outside               of               these               major               categories,               but               these               are               the               most               common               topics.

You               may               already               have               a               good               idea               of               which               categories               you               may               or               may               not               be               interested               in.

You               may               find               taxes               fascinating,               and               decide               to               pursue               research               in               how               changes               in               tax               laws               affect               the               behaviors               of               taxpayers.

Or,               you               may               know               that               tax               is               just               not               your               thing,               but               studying               financial               accounting               would               be               far               more               up               your               alley.
               Method               of               Research
               Once               you               narrow               down               the               topic               you'd               like               to               specialize               in,               think               about               what               methods               you               think               you               would               enjoy               for               conducting               research.

The               four               main               methods               of               conducting               accounting               research               are:               Analytical,               Archival,               and               Experimental.

Again,               there               are               methods               that               fall               outside               of               these               main               categories,               but               these               are               a               good               place               to               start.

Experimental               means               that               you               set               up               experiments,               to               test               a               theory.

This               may               be               used               more               when               studying               individual               people's               behavior.

The               more               common               method               of               accounting               research               is               Archival,               where               the               researcher               uses               past               published               financial               data               to               see               how               financial               results               were               affected               by               the               variables               they               are               studying.

Analytical               research               involves               setting               up               mathematical               models,               based               on               assumptions,               to               make               predictions               about               how               changing               certain               variables               in               the               model               would               affect               outcomes.
               Now,               on               to               the               rankings!

According               to               BYUaccounting.net/rankings,               the               following               are               the               top               5               accounting               PhD               programs               for               each               topic.
