The Doctor of Accounting program objective is to help students develop a conceptual framework and set of skills needed to address issues concerning different accounting alternatives. The program research in accounting considers the creation and use of control, planning, and performance information. The Accounting program is designed to advance the professional development of experienced accounting graduates and professionals in the accounting arena by extending their knowledge and equipping them with broad research and process accounting skills, enabling them to make a key leadership contribution to their chosen fields. AIU’s Doctorate degree in Accounting goes one step further by allowing students to study and research multiple key areas of computer science to develop a unique foundation of practical knowledge and computer science theory. Your AIU Distance Learning Doctorate program in Accounting will be a custom-made program, designed just for you by you and your advisor. This flexibility to meet your needs is seldom found in other distance learning programs. Our program does not require every student to study the same subjects and use the same books and other learning materials as every other student. Instead our online Doctoral programs are designed just for you. They are individually designed to meet your needs and help you to reach your professional and personal goals. Important: Below is an example of the topics or areas you may develop and work on during your studies.
