A good beginning for additional information is to contact the accounting doctoral program coordinators at one or more of the ADS Program participating universities where you may consider undertaking your studies.

You are also encouraged to visit with accounting faculty members about their experiences and for their insights about transitioning to a career as an accounting faculty member.

You may find helpful searching the profiles of accounting programs by visiting www.aacsb.edu.
