Accounting
Accountants are skilled professionals who develop and examine the financial reporting and control systems used by business organizations, agencies and individuals to keep track of money, goods and services. A Bachelor of Science in accounting can lead to careers in public, private or government accounting as well as banking, finance and other management specialties.
Industry sources agree that the future of the accounting professions is bright. Technology has placed more sophisticated tools in the hands of accountants. Government regulations, the dynamics of the economy, public demands for improved government performance and global business competition all increase the need for liberally educated accountants.
A sequence of business and general education courses prepares accounting graduate for all facets of the business world. You may also choose electives in specialties within the profession, such as tax accounting.
Many students obtain C.P.A. (Certified Public Accountant) accreditation after graduation.
