(finance, marketing, management, and operations and business
analysis being the other four) that make up the Lundquist College
of Business (Lundquist), which is one of nine colleges and schools
within the University of Oregon (UO). The SOA is accredited by the
AACSB and less than 2 percent of business schools have an AACSB

basic research published in high-quality academic journals; and to

in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.

Engagement with members of the accounting profession shapes our
school. In accordance with our mission, we work to engage with
accounting professionals on a regular basis, which often translates
to updates in our curriculum and programming. Through our advisory
board, the Accounting Circle, and memberships in professional
organizations such as the Oregon Society of CPAs, our faculty have
frequent interactions with outside constituents working in the
accounting profession, which provide opportunities for revisions to
courses to better prepare our students. To glimpse some of the
outcomes of alumni and donor investments in accounting education,

train. (Known as Tracktown USA, Eugene hosts the US Olympic Track
