Our doctoral program focuses on preparing scholars for future careers in academia.
At Fox Accounting, our vision is to transform students, develop leaders in the accounting profession and impact local and global accounting communities through excellence and innovation in accounting education and research.
As a community of students, alumni, business leaders, staff and faculty our mission is dedicated to learning, creating, disseminating, and applying accounting knowledge. The Department of Accounting is committed to transforming students into well-rounded, responsible accounting professionals and leaders who embrace lifelong learning, service to, and the advancement of accounting practice.
Testimonials
I always knew that I wanted to help people, so I decided to do accounting. With accounting, you can do so many things. I feel like I can go anywhere after this.

There are so many different avenues that an accountant can pursue within the accounting profession, so it enables them to merge their personal passions with their profession.
Cory Ng
Associate Professor
I participated in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistant (VITA) program for three years. It was great because the program allowed me to get an idea of what taxation is like. I later went to interviews, and they were blown away with my general tax knowledge, and my ability to work with people and navigate the tax code.

The MAcc program provides unique value in not only the CPA study time but also there's an increased technical knowledge that naturally comes from a graduate degree.

There's no organization that exists today that does not need any sort of accounting done. So, in that sense, accounting is everywhere. That's why we refer to it as the language of business.
Enrique Gomez
Assistant Professor
Fox has helped me stand out to employers with all the professional development opportunities that they have given out, whether it be within SPOs, within the classroom, or external opportunities, like Volunteer Income Tax Assistant (VITA) where we prepare tax returns for low-income individuals in our community.

I am such a different person than who I was when I was a freshman. I was shy and I've been able to get involved in so much now. I'm the community service chair for the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA), which is also an accounting SPO. I've learned how to be a leader in all the skills that come with that.

Temple University’s Masters of Accountancy (MAcc) program not only deepened my understanding of advanced accounting principles but also promoted a collaborative learning environment that mirrored real-world professional dynamics, setting me up for success in my accounting career.

I love the Fox School of Business. There’s something about it—the mentality within the school, about collaboration but also ambition, and pushing yourself forward—that makes me excited to go to class every day.

Without the MAcc program, I wouldn’t have already passed four parts of the CPA Exam, wouldn’t have been able to gain all the credits that I needed to be a CPA, meet the awesome faculty, or receive the resources I now have.
Anna Palutis

Just being in this Fox family and the Department of Accounting, I never thought I would find something like this at a college. It’s been a unique experience. It’s incredible, and I’ll never forget it.
