The Department of Accounting provides its students with a rigorous and relevant academic experience at the undergraduate and graduate levels, with quality faculty members who have established reputations in teaching and research, and with opportunities for leadership and development. Our students are very successful in obtaining jobs and in passing the CPA exam. More than 90 percent of our graduates are placed within three months of graduation. The pass rates of Colorado State University students taking the CPA exam exceed the state and national pass rates! External financial support is critical to the continued success of our department. On behalf of those who benefit directly from the generosity of our donors – our faculty who can more effectively educate our students and conduct research on critical accounting issues, and our students who receive important scholarship support enabling them to prepare for productive professional careers – I send a sincere and grateful thank you for your support!
