Accounting offers a broad education that prepares undergraduate students for careers in public accounting, private industry, government and nonprofit organizations.
The accounting concentration track draws on curricula that provide a strong base of traditional technical subject matter and the skills needed for solving complex business problems. This track enables students to continue professional growth over the entire span of their careers. The program emphasizes communication skills and provides the academic background required for leadership positions in business, government, and public accounting
The accounting program leads to a Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in accounting, which requires 124 s.h. of credit. Students are granted the B.B.A. upon successful completion of the third and fourth years.
The B.B.A. is not sufficient preparation for Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensure in states that have passed a 150-hour law.
