Course Faculty
David Ravetch has been a UCLA accounting faculty member for over twenty-five years. He has received numerous teaching awards as well as the California Society of Certified Public Accountants’ Faculty Merit Award. When Mr. Ravetch first began teaching at UCLA, the school was not yet a major contender for accounting recruitment efforts. Under his direction, UCLA developed course initiatives, expanded offerings and launched an accounting minor, which was the school's first approved minor. He was named as the director of the undergraduate accounting program by the Anderson School, where he served for seven years.
