From the Chair
It has been a good year for the Department of Accounting & Information Systems.
We started the year with three priorities. First, we wanted to begin to grow the size of the professional programs (undergraduate enrollments are restricted in the School of Business so we can’t increase program size by increasing undergraduate admissions). Second, we wanted to better articulate our development priorities. Finally, we wanted to explore external programs that could generate revenue for the department to help us maintain the margin of excellence that we have achieved (in the most recent Public Accounting Reports survey, UW-Madison was ranked among the top 10 accounting departments). Over the course of the year, we’ve made substantial progress on all three priorities. Read more
