Department of Accounting Mission Statement

The Accounting Department at MSU Denver provides high quality, accessible, enriching undergraduate and graduate accounting education in an urban setting appropriate to a diverse student population enrolled under modified open admission standards. We prepare students for careers, graduate education, and lifelong learning in a global and technological society. The department is committed to ethical values, continuous improvement, and mutual respect within a diverse campus community.

The Accounting Department pursues excellence in teaching and learning as its primary purpose. Intellectual contributions in accounting and related fields that enhance teaching and learning and contribute to scholarship through both applied research and other avenues of professional development are secondary though fundamental to the mission of the Accounting Department. Service to MSU Denver, the accounting profession, and the community and society in general is also secondary albeit fundamental to the mission of the Accounting Department.
