Accounting

A concentration in accounting prepares the graduate for entry into one of the fastest growing and most critical areas of management. Accounting is an exacting field that requires accuracy, the ability to reason, and the skills to interpret business data and to deal with people. Accountants hold sensitive management positions in private firms in business or industry, public accounting firms, and governmental agencies.

To prepare for an accounting career, students take courses in financial and managerial reporting, systems design and installation, taxation, and auditing. Elective courses are available for more specialized study in cost accounting, accounting theory, planning and control, auditing, and taxes.

Students may also count up to eighteen months of cooperative education experience in auditing toward the three years required to become a Certified Public Accountant. See course descriptions for more information.
