B.S.B.A. in Accounting

Become an accountant by studying at one of only two New Jersey schools with separate accounting AACSB accreditation and graduate with prestigious accolades. You will develop your technical knowledge, hone your critical thinking skills and get hands-on experience to launch a successful business career.

Accounting is the language of business because it is the way information is analyzed and communicated. This provides many career opportunities within the profession and also provides a stepping-stone to other areas in business. Accountants are great communicators, problem solvers, critical thinkers, technically skilled, analyzers, business leaders, entrepreneurs and trusted advisors. The strong demand for accounting professionals offers a wealth of job opportunities.
