Bachelor of Science - Accounting

With an accounting degree, you'll be able to speak the language of business and work in a high-demand industry. Nonprofit organizations, schools and hospitals, government agencies, and grassroots enterprises all need accountants.

Today’s accountant focuses on auditing controls — both preventive controls (designed to prevent errors or irregularities from happening) and forensic controls (designed to find errors or irregularities after they occur). They are trouble-shooters and puzzle-solvers with a knack for numbers and an eye for details.

At Northern Vermont University, you'll work closely with faculty experts to build your own expertise in this growing field. Courses in mathematics, principles of marketing and economics, and different accounting fields will prepare you to graduate with the skills that will make you stand out to prospective employers in this growing field.
