It All Adds Up T he Sesquicentennial spotlight shinning on the School of Accountancy, reveals, a dedicated faculty, a rigorous curriculum, outstanding students and successful graduates, all based on the foundation of an enduring legacy.
Accountants work with numbers.
And that's about all many people know about accountancy. However, the Sesquicentennial celebration of the School of Accountancy at The University of Mississippi yields a more thorough picture. This six-month long spotlight reveals a cutting edge educational program and a faculty dedicated to educating successful students who enter a wide variety of professions. Although accountancy instruction has been a part of the curriculum since Ole Miss was founded, a pinnacle was reached in 1979 when accountancy became a separate school. This status made The University of Mississippi one of the first institutions of higher learning in the country with a separate school of accountancy.
