Our Mission Statement:
We develop future business leaders through our dedication to teaching excellence and research. Together with the accounting and business community, we accomplish this using collaborative research and an innovative and a tech-forward curriculum in a culturally diverse environment.
The School of Accountancy of the College of Business and Economics represents one of the largest undergraduate accounting programs in the nation, with more than 1,000 currently enrolled accounting majors. The size of our program enhances your flexibility in scheduling classes and allows more variety in accounting course offerings. Our undergraduate and graduate programs are built on three core principles: bringing real-world knowledge into the classroom, leveraging technology to deliver education, and integrating analytics throughout our curriculum.
The learning experience is enhanced through paid internships, independent study and student group activities. Scholarships (PDF) and awards are made available each semester for deserving students. Student groups sponsor a variety of beneficial networking opportunities with professionals from the accounting community. Public accounting firms in the area also formally recruit on the campus.
Our program is AACSB accredited, which alone sets us apart in Orange County.
The Deloitte Foundation Accounting Scholars Program is collaborating with 25 colleges and universities across the US to provide a limited number of full scholarships (100% of tuition and academic fees will be covered excluding books and living expenses) for selected students interested in pursuing a fifth-year master’s degree in accounting or master’s degree in tax for the 2026–2027 academic year.

In only 10 months, students can complete the entire 30-unit MSA program while defraying the cost through internships or full-tuition scholarships.

Shuqing Huang earned her bachelor’s degree in financial services from Hong Kong Polytechnic University, a Master's degree in Statistics from the University of Michigan, and her PhD in Accounting from New York University. Her research centers on disclosure incentives, stakeholder use of financial and non-financial information, and enforcement mechanisms, with a focus on the intersection of accounting, law, and corporate strategy.
Chungyool Kim received his Ph.D. in Accounting from the University of Iowa. He completed his undergraduate studies with honors in Economics at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea before pursuing a Master’s in Accountancy at the University of Iowa, where he developed a deeper interest in accounting research, ultimately leading him to pursue a Ph.D. His research interests include corporate disclosures, the real effects of disclosure, and social media information dissemination. For example, his dissertation, currently under review in The Accounting Review, uses executives’ tweets to examine how they strategically amplify financial news on personal social media platforms to enhance their eզuity incentives. He has presented his research at multiple conferences. Chungyool enjoys classroom interactions with students and is excited to teach cost accounting at CSUF. Outside of work, he loves outdoor activities, going to the gym, hiking, and watching sports.

Have you been assigned a faculty mentor in the past or recently? The School of Accountancy facilitates an event called the Faculty Mentoring Program (FMP) every semester and this is one of the main aspects accounting faculty can help with! The program is held in October during the Fall and in March during the Spring.
We would highly suggest reaching out to your faculty mentor for questions on completing your practicum requirement. If you are unable to reach them, please an email to [email protected] and we will be happy to connect you with a faculty member who can help.
