Some students attend graduate school in business, law or the liberal arts.
While pursuing an accounting degree at the University of Richmond, students are taught to understand accounting and its many complexities rather than being forced to memorize purely mechanical procedures. The entire accounting program stresses the theory behind accounting so that graduates will have the basis of knowledge to begin a lifelong career.
The accounting department attempts to work with each student as a unique individual. Class sizes are small and interactions between faculty and students are commonplace. Scores on the CPA exam have been consistently excellent over the past 15 years with many former students passing the entire exam on their first attempt. The accounting department seeks to graduate individuals who can enter the business world with the critical analysis skills necessary for success.
