The accounting major provides students with a unique opportunity to complete a program in accounting within the environment of one of the country's leading liberal arts institutions. Although students will find that the accounting major provides the appropriate background for a career in public accounting or industry, the curriculum also permits careers in business, government, and nonprofit institutions.

Students receive special opportunities for oral and written communication, critical thinking, and faculty interaction, which are not typically found at larger accounting programs. By grounding the program in the liberal arts tradition, our program provides students with an appreciation for accounting as a vital information system in contemporary society.

The College of the Holy Cross was founded in 1843 by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in Worcester, Massachusetts. Holy Cross is a highly selective, four-year, undergraduate, liberal arts institution and is ranked among the nation's leading four-year liberal arts colleges.

As a liberal arts college, Holy Cross pursues excellence in teaching, learning, and research. All who share its life are challenged to be open to new ideas, to be patient with ambiguity and uncertainty, to combine a passion for truth with respect for the views of others. Informed by the presence of diverse interpretations of the human experience, Holy Cross seeks to build a community marked by freedom, mutual respect, and civility. Because the search for meaning and value is at the heart of the intellectual life, critical examination of fundamental religious and philosophical questions is integral to liberal arts education. Dialogue about these questions among people from diverse academic disciplines and religious traditions requires everyone to acknowledge and respect differences. Dialogue also requires us to remain open to that sense of the whole that calls us to transcend ourselves and challenges us to seek that which might constitute our common humanity.
