Creation of Centers of Excellence |
Accounting Fraud and Ethical Studies Center |
The objective of the Center would be to develop superior approaches to prevent, detect and deter fraud and corruption, and to teach these skills to others. The Center would (1) sponsor and conduct research studies on accounting fraud, (2) introduce fraud and ethics education into all accounting courses taught at the University, and (3) offer continuing education programs for accountants and business owners and managers. Annual cost of $225,000 per year - Endowment of $4,500,000 |
Center for Accountancy Internships |
The objective of the center would be to give students an opportunity to combine academic preparation with practical exposure to the accounting profession. This experience is beneficial to students not only upon graduation, but also complements the remainder of their undergraduate and graduate education. Annual cost of $128,000 per year - Endowment of $2,560,000 |
Center for Doctoral Studies in Accounting |
There is a critical shortage of doctorally qualified accounting faculty in the U.S. The Patterson School has the senior faculty, library and opportunity to help meet this critical need. Annual cost of $154,000 per year - Endowment of $3,080,000 |
Center for Support of the National Library of the Accounting Profession |
The Patterson School and the J.D. Williams Library hold the finest accounting library in the world. Continuing support is needed to provide the necessary service to the profession and to meet the changing technologies of libraries. Annual cost of $140,000 per year - Endowment of $2,800,000 |

Building and Technology Improvements |
Wireless Technology Enhancement for the Business and Accountancy Complex |
The School provides two computer labs for use by students in a classroom setting and for research presentation work. At present, the computers are four years old. In addition, a large percentage of our students are using laptop computers in study rooms and classrooms. There is a significant demand for wireless technology throughout the complex. Estimated cost - $100,000 |
Building Addition to Conner and North Hall |
The Schools of Business and Accountancy currently house over 3,500 students in the Conner and Holman Complex. Additional classroom and office space is a critical need. A four-story, 20,000 square foot building on the northeast corner of the complex would enhance our ability to provide a quality accounting and business education. Estimated cost (building, technology, furnishings) - $5,000,000 |
