The Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting provides introductory and advanced courses in financial and managerial accounting, auditing, taxation and microcomputers. Successful students are prepared for staff level positions in various types of business organizations and nonprofit entities.

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.

Students seeking professional careers in accounting, particularly with public accounting firms, are encouraged to pursue a graduate degree in Accounting. The requirements for a Master of Science in Accounting are presented elsewhere on the department pages.
