| Illinois Accountancy Ranked #1 in Research and Publications by BYU | ||
| Brigham Young University recently published their 2023 Faculty Research Rankings, which measure the impact of faculty at public and private universities across all areas of accounting research. Gies' Department of Accountancy tied for first place in the rankings for overall breadth of research over the past six years! This ranking is publication-based: rankings are based not just on the volume of research but also on the prestige of the outlets where the research appeared. This is an important distinction that both recognizes the outstanding work of our productive Accountancy faculty and elevates the international reputation of the Department of Accountancy and our College. Congratulations to all of our Accountancy faculty whose important research work led to this distinction. | ||
