Bachelor of Science in Buchhaltung

If you are analytical and have a strong business sense, a career in accounting may be right for you.

At Spalding, business courses are combined with a liberal arts education, allowing you to explore the connection between accounting and the broader business, economic and financial marketplace. You’ll even have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in Louisville’s thriving economic community through internship and service learning opportunities.
