Our Accountancy Programs The Department of Accountancy provides outstanding accounting educational experiences for our students. We are fortunate to have an innovative accounting curriculum that prepares our students for a variety of successful professional service careers. Our curriculum focuses on developing business understanding, research skills, technical accounting competence, ethical awareness, critical thinking ability, communication skills, computer proficiency, and an attitude of life-long learning. Our educational programs, both undergraduate and masters, are among the best in the world. Our undergraduate accountancy major is one of the largest at Notre Dame with a long-standing reputation for high quality.
Students choosing to major in accountancy find a challenging and rewarding course of studies.
The faculty takes a great deal of pride in maintaining the relevance of our curriculum, while at the same time emphasizing skill development that transcends various career opportunities. Accountancy undergraduate students have many opportunities to participate in case competitions and student organizations. Students not only benefit from the Notre Dame accountancy education, but also frequently take advantage of internships with prestigious professional services firms. Importantly, the outlook for careers in professional services continues to be very, very promising-and accountancy is a great place to start. Our Master of Science in Accountancy program began in the fall of 1998 and continues to grow in both enrollments and academic excellence.
