COB Accounting Climbs National Rankings

Over the last six years, Dr. Denise Dickins, accounting professor, ranks 5 in developing case studies and is 12 overall in educational research. Over the last 20 years, Dr. John Reisch, COB accounting chair, ranks 7 in case publication and 35 in overall accounting education research.

Said Reisch, “These rankings are a testament to the department’s interest in student development outside the parameters of textbook learning. Creating cases that integrate accounting issues in complex business settings can take months to develop. This allows students to fully explore problems and develop possible solutions while allowing for classroom discussions that enrich student learning.”

ECU’s College of Business is located in Greenville, North Carolina and currently has more than 28,000 alumni throughout the United States. It’s one of the largest colleges of business in North Carolina.
