Students successfully completing the undergraduate accounting curriculum will have an excellent understanding of basic financial accounting principles and practices. Study will also include accounting information systems, managerial accounting, individual taxation, and auditing. The program provides a broad understanding of general business concepts and practices including finance, marketing, management, and computer systems and applications. This broad range of business training combined with expertise in accounting makes the accountant a valuable advisor to business and to individuals. Accountants, especially those who earn the C.P.A. certificate or other professional certification, enjoy a respected place in business.
Accounting offers excellent opportunities for employment, professional growth, and high income.
The baccalaureate degree in business administration with an option in accounting is designed to prepare students for an accounting career that does not require a C.P.A. Preparation for the C.P.A. certification requires an additional year of graduate study leading to the Master of Accountancy degree.
