Accounting is the language of business.
It is also the study of how business and governmental transactions are recorded, controlled, and summarized to create financial statements. Further, accountancy involves mastery of the federal and state income tax codes, as well as a host of other tax compliance matters. Accounting information is vital for managerial planning, budgeting, and control. Currently, Kean University offers a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting, preparing students for careers in business, government, and the nonprofit sector. A Master's Degree Program in Accounting will be available for non-Accounting majors in Fall 2000.
