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 2010 is below. A check mark indicates which concentration (audit and/or tax) the participating university will accept applications from ADS Scholars for fall 2010 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.

Non-participating U.S. AACSB accredited universities, with doctoral programs in accounting, which 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. The self-nomination process for programs interested in participating in the Fall 2010 ADS Program has closed. Universities interested in self-nominating for the Fall 2011 ADS Program should email the ADS Program, ADSprogram@aicpa.org, between April 1, 2010 and May 20, 2010 to begin the application process. Applications will be reviewed in June 2010.
