Within the Gatton College of Business and Economics are three main academic units: The Von Allmen School of Accountancy, The Department of Economics and The School of Management. With exceptional course offerings and faculty who are experts in their fields, the academic units of the Gatton College house all degree programs.

For nearly 40 years, the School of Accountancy has been preparing men and women for careers in the accounting field. With a core of more than 15 well-trained, expert faculty members, the Von Allmen School of Accountancy offers bachelor, master and Ph.D. degrees in accounting. While the traditional debit-and-credit pedagogy is taught within the School, a strong emphasis is placed on analytical and communication skills. This approach has fostered a unique teaching and learning environment and enables our graduates to leave with not only a focused accounting experience, but with core leadership skills that will allow them to advance in their fields.

As the oldest academic unit of the Gatton College of Business and Economics, the Department of Economics has the tradition of its past coupled with the progressiveness of today. Faculty members within the department actively participate in cutting-edge research enabling them to bring a wealth of experience and knowledge into the classroom. The Department of Economics' commitment to research is also evidenced by the housing of two critical research centers: the Center for Business and Economic Research and the Center for Poverty Research. The Department is also actively involved with the Gatton College's annual Economic Outlook where the economic forecasts for the state of Kentucky and the nation are predicted.

Perhaps the largest academic unit of the Gatton College is the School of Management. Making up the School are four critical business areas: decision science and information systems, finance, management, and marketing. Within these areas bachelor, master and Ph.D. degrees are offered. The School of Management is also a primary contributor to the College's two MBA programs. And much like the Department of Economics, the School of Management is home to the following research-oriented centers: the International Center for Research on Social Networks in Business (LINKS), UK's Center for Sports Marketing, and the Von Allmen Center for Green Marketing.
