Courses

Most accounting research at Carnegie Mellon business school is grounded in economics. In addition, students in accounting take a wide range of courses in mathematics, probability and statistics, econometrics, and experimental design that prepare them to conduct both theoretical and empirical research.

The Accounting area in particular, and the business school in general, maintain an active workshop series. These workshops provide another important component of a student's education.
