Students majoring in accounting will be expected, through proper faculty advisement, to attain a desirable level of proficiency in the English language, mathematics, and computer science. To develop educational breadth and depth, majors will be required to sample widely from the arts, humanities, natural, and social sciences.

However, in order to be awarded the Connecticut CPA Certification, students must have completed a total of 150 of college semester credits.
