B.S. In Accounting

The Accounting program provides you with the technical and professional skills needed in the ever-changing, fast-paced accounting profession. An accounting degree opens opportunities in the traditional areas of accounting - auditing, taxation and financial reporting - and offers the foundation for more specialized areas such as risk management, fraud and forensics, and sustainability reporting and assurance. The accounting curriculum prepares you for careers in public accounting, corporate accounting, consulting, government and nonprofit organization, and tax services; and provides sufficient coursework should you plan to obtain CPA licensure or pursue other professional certifications.

After completing the Accounting program, you will know the various functions of accounting and the underlying principles and concepts of accounting theory, and have the ability to apply these principles to accounting problems, situations and hands-on projects. The program focuses on building technical competence, analytical abilities, communication and interpersonal skills, and ethical conduct, while providing a balance of liberal arts, business and accounting courses.
