MBA Exec MBA Texas BBA Bus. A distinctive feature of the PPA is the opportunity to interact on a regular basis with outstanding professionals from accounting practice and the business community, both from Texas and across the nation. Each fall semester the Department brings speakers to campus to make presentations to PPA students through two separate Lyceums.
Students can then begin to consider their specific interests early in their PPA experience.
Throughout the fall, prominent representatives of accounting practice, business, and government speak to students about a variety of important issues affecting professionals today. PPA students enjoy becoming acquainted with some of the people whose names appear regularly in The Wall Street Journal , the Journal of Accountancy , and similar business periodicals. An indirect benefit of the Lyceum programs is the opportunity it gives the Department to build relationships with prospective employers and other leaders in the accounting profession. This enhances the reputation of the UT accounting programs and adds to the employment opportunities for UT accounting students. Updated June 15, 2000.
