No. We prefer entering students to have formal working experience in a business environment for at least one year.

Yes. We still consider applications after the deadline if the positions have not been filled.

If your application material is complete, the Ph.D. program coordinator may contact you as early as in December for further questions. Students on the short list will be invited for campus interviews between December and the spring of the following year for the Fall term start. After the campus interviews, offers may be extended. Please do not contact us for status updates until after the first week of March.

We admit new students once per year during the Fall semester.

The program typically takes 5 years to complete and requires full-time residence during this period. Students may complete the degree study within 4 years.

No. All PhD students are required to study in residence throughout the program.

No. The required course work in the Ph.D. program rarely overlaps with courses from a professional Master’s degree program.

The University allows certain graduate students to participate in a low-cost health insurance program. Visit the Student Health Care Center website for more details on the program.

A mandatory student health insurance program for incoming University of Florida students was approved by the UF Board of Trustees to be initiated by fall 2014. Effective Summer B 2014, all newly admitted or re-admitted students who are enrolled at least half time* in a degree-seeking program and are attending any campus of the University of Florida will be required to show proof of adequate health insurance as a condition of enrollment. This requirement would also apply to existing students who complete a degree and move to a new degree-seeking program (e.g. from bachelor’s to master’s).

The program allows students and their families to retain the freedom to purchase insurance in the marketplace or through the University-sponsored plan. More information including insurance coverage guidelines, frequently asked questions, how to submit one’s insurance information and more, can be found at UF Health Compliance Office. Please note that students who have matriculated at UF Summer A 2014 or earlier and who are currently enrolled are exempt from this requirement.

*Half time is defined as 5 eligible credit hours (4 credit hours during summer) for graduate students including post- candidacy doctoral students. For students beginning in Summer B term, half-time is considered 3 hours; however, one must be enrolled in 6 hours to receive financial aid. This applies to both domestic and international students.

Minimum math skills include a full year of calculus and at least some study of matrix or linear algebra. It is preferable to complete at least the math courses before your first semester in the Ph.D. program. The following UF classes (or equivalent at other universities) provide a useful background before starting the PhD program. Occasionally, we admit students with math deficiencies and ask them to take the math courses in their first year of the Ph.D. program.

Courses and curriculum

During the first two years, students enroll in courses selected to provide the basic theoretical and empirical skills required to undertake research in accounting.

Course work can be categorized into four areas:

  1. Accounting seminars:
    • Overview of Accounting Research
    • Financial Research I
    • Financial Research II
    • Research in Special Topics (audit, tax, etc.)
    • Experimental Research
    • Analytical Research
  2. Business core courses:
    • Microeconomic Theory
    • Game Theory for Economists
    • Information Economics
    • Asset Pricing
    • Corporate Finance I
    • Corporate Finance II
  3. Research method core courses:

    • Econometrics II
    • Statistical Methods in Economics
    • Data Analytics
  4. Supporting field:
    • Finance, economics, decision and information science, mathematics, political science, psychology, or sociology.

In all cases, course titles are illustrative. Emphasis will be on developing research skills and helping students understand how one selects and refines a research topic. Not all courses are offered annually. This means that doctoral students will be expected and encouraged to take some classes in their third academic year.

Fisher’s Weekly Workshop Series – This series plays major role in enhancing the student’s knowledge and creating an environment conducive to scholarly activity. In such a seminar, FSOA faculty and leading scholars from other institutions present working papers on their current research interests. All doctoral students are required to attend these workshop meetings.

Distinguished Scholar Week – Every May, Fisher invites prominent accounting research scholars to campus to conduct five intensive, three-hour sessions plus a series of interactive sessions with our Ph.D. candidates. Past scholars have included faculty from Duke University, New York University and The Wharton School.

First Year Summer Project – All students are required to execute a research project in the first summer of matriculation. The first year summer project requires students to replicate and extend, in a minor way, a published accounting paper. The intent of this project is to have the student explore a question, grapple with the data collection and analysis issues, and present the findings. The resulting paper is presented at the beginning of the second academic year. The presentation to the faculty of the first-year summer project constitutes the first-year exam.

Written comprehensive examination – The exam is given between June of the second academic year and December of the third academic year. Each student must take and pass the exam. Students not passing the exam will have one term to prepare and must retake the exam within six months after the first attempt. Students who do not pass the exam after the second attempt must leave the program.

Second Year Summer Project – All students are required to execute a research project in the second summer of matriculation. The second-year project entails completing, presenting, and submitting a paper that demonstrates original thinking. The project is an independent scholarly effort with faculty providing broad, informal guidance. The resulting paper must be presented at an FSOA workshop at the beginning of the third academic year.

Teaching Requirement – All students are required to teach a minimum of one semester.

Financial information

Our students in good standing receive financial support that covers five years of study. The financial support includes full tuition waiver and competitive salaries (currently approximately $40,000 per year) for serving as half-time (20 hours per week) research or teaching assistants.

Research assistant appointments involve assisting faculty research projects, the experience of which helps Ph.D. students to learn the research process. Teaching assistant appointments involve instructing an undergraduate class or assisting a professor’s class. Ph.D. students are required to independently teach a class once or twice during the program.
