Corporate Partnership Program

For the past several years, our Accounting Corporate Partner program has been a success. Partners received increased exposure to students and faculty, and the partner-sponsored programs/events have been extremely valuable for the students.

What is an Accounting Corporate Partner?

An Accounting Corporate Partner is a company interested in ensuring the continued excellence of Baylor’s Accounting program. The financial commitments by our corporate sponsors support scholarships, teaching, and student/faculty development needs within the department. Partners see their direct impact by helping provide development programming for all accounting students, which ensures a pool of well-prepared entry-level accounting business professionals. Corporate Partners also benefit from increased interaction with students/faculty and on-campus name recognition.

What exposure does an Accounting Corporate Partner receive?

Accounting Corporate Partners are identified and acknowledged:

• at various sponsored events
• in the accounting major recruiting handbook provided to accounting majors in first year
• on the annual Accounting t-shirt given to every accounting major
• on the digital information display within the Department's lobby
• in the Department’s Annual Report and other publications as appropriate

Additionally, Accounting Corporate Partners are invited to participate in accounting events that provide campus networking/recruiting opportunities, receive reserved interview and pre-interview dates during busy spring recruiting season, and gain increased support and service from the Director of Accounting Internships & Career Development.
