Accounting Faculty Among Best In Research Output

2021 BYU Accounting Research Productivity Ranking

Nebraska's School of Accountancy is No. 3 in Big Ten in the latest ranking for faculty research among over 600 national and international institutions measured in the last six years. Nebraska earned the recognition based on the total research output of the school's faculty in the top 12 peer-reviewed accounting journals. The rankings are broken down into three distinct time periods—the past six years, the past 12 years and all publications since 1990—so that each year’s ranking builds on the previous year’s number.
