Who Are the Participating Universities?

Recipients of ADS program funding must be accepted by and enroll in a doctoral program at a program participating university. The list of participating universities seeking candidates for fall 2009 is below. A check mark indicates which concentration (audit and/or tax) the participating university will accept applications from ADS Scholars for fall 2009 admissions. This list should be consulted frequently as additions are made and deletions occur as the capacity to accept additional doctoral students in audit and tax are subject to change. All participating universities are AACSB International accredited in business.

Program test score information, indicating whether GMAT or GRE are accepted, is also listed below. Candidates are encouraged to visit the GMAT and GRE websites for further information. The GRE website provides a comparison of these examinations.

Non-participating universities that have the capacity to accept additional students with a focus in audit and/or tax may apply for consideration to become a participating university by contacting ADSprogram@aicpa.org.
