Dr. Uliss teaches courses in Accounting Information Systems (AIS) and Financial Accounting (primarily Advanced Accounting.) She also advises students with regard to academic planning, including degree programs, accounting career advice and planning, as well as providing service at all levels of MSU Denver as well as to the professional community.
