Bachelor of Science in Accounting

Accountants measure and analyze business activity and then organize data and information into reports and communicate the information to decision makers.

The successful accounting professional needs a thorough grasp of accounting rules and excellent quantitative skills to prepare financial statements and analyze the financial and operating data that decision makers use in marketing, finance, personnel administration, and other business activities. Further, accounting professionals must possess excellent written and oral communication skills so that their information is effectively communicated to managers, colleagues, clients and capital market participants.
