Accounting and finance students who participate in collaborative research work with an accounting or finance faculty member on a research project of mutual interest. Research projects are presented and judged at the university's annual Student Research Day. Many students receive independent study credit for their experience.
Faculty/student collaborative research is a great learning experience. You’ll learn more about your academic discipline and how to do academic research – an experience especially beneficial if you are considering graduate school. You’ll also develop interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills.

Gender Differences in Student Ethics: Are Females Really More Ethical?
Investigations of gender differences in student ethics have yielded conflicting results. Some studies show no gender differences and others show significant differences.
This study seeks to determine whether gender effects persist when a student's major, school type (religious-affiliated or public), or overall level of religiosity are included in the analysis. Prior research has considered these variables by themselves, and each one would theoretically align students' ethics, which would cause gender differences to disappear.
Students at two universities participated in our research. Results from over 1,014 students reveal significant gender differences that do not fade as the three additional variables are included in the analysis.
