Jessica Cunningham, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor of Accountancy
Ph.D., Boston University

Thoughts on teaching:
My teaching philosophy is centered on three key objectives: (1) helping students gain a thorough understanding of core accounting concepts and acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful business career, (2) encouraging critical thinking, and (3) inspiring students to develop an appreciation for accounting skills that are valuable not only for a career in accounting but for any career path. In the classroom, I strive to create an inquisitive learning environment where students are encouraged to participate and ask questions.
