Technologies like machine learning and AI are disrupting the accounting industry at an aggressive pace. To remain relevant, accounting professionals must possess strong data science skills.

Georgia State University's Robinson College of Business MIS with a concentration in accounting and data science will equip you with a strong technical knowledge of audit, taxation, and financial accounting as well as advanced data analysis capabilities.

Companies are in dire need of talent with expertise in both accounting and data science; hiring accountants without technology skills and data scientists without accounting knowledge has proven to be inefficient and expensive. Graduates from this program will fill an enormous talent gap and be in a great position to compete for jobs.

You will be part of the Center for Digital Innovation, a college-level interdisciplinary research center on digital innovation that focuses on adding value and addressing high-impact problems in business and society. You will receive a Ph.D. in computer information systems and leave prepared for a career at a major research university.

In consultation with the Ph.D. coordinator and other faculty, you will configure a program of study that will include subject matter seminars in information systems and other disciplines, a rigorous sequence of research methods courses (e.g., econometrics, statistics, computational techniques, experimental design, qualitative techniques), a course in theory development, and a course in university teaching. A collaborative mentoring approach is used for your ongoing scholastic development. From the start of the program, you will work closely with one or more faculty members.

Our faculty are ranked among the leading scholars in information systems and routinely publish their work, often in collaboration with current and former Ph.D. students, in the best scholarly journals in information systems and other disciplines.

Students typically offset the cost of the program through an assistantship that includes full tuition waivers. Contact us for information on tuition and funding your doctoral studies.
