Accounting is best defined as the systematic recording, reporting, and analysis of financial transactions. Students who select accounting as their major generally show a talent for analyzing financial information, developing financial and investment planning strategies, verifying financial documents, and managing costs and assets.

Accounting is at the heart of every company and essentially functions as the “measuring stick” for all business transactions. The school's primary objective for the accounting major is to expose students to the many facets of accounting. It provides accounting and business knowledge about practical and conceptual accounting and the use of accounting information for effective managerial decision-making.

The accounting major is designed to prepare students for professional careers in public, corporate, or governmental accounting. Accountants work for corporations, nonprofits, government agencies, and small businesses. They create financial reports, review income and expenses, prepare tax documents, and ensure regulatory compliance. Some accountants even help track down financial criminals, while others take part in high-stakes investments.

Emphasizing a strong foundation in accounting theory, our program goes beyond the theoretical framework to ensure a comprehensive understanding and practical application of these concepts in real-world scenarios. We strive to foster a deep integration of fundamental accounting principles with hands-on experience, preparing our students to navigate and excel in the dynamic and demanding landscape of professional accounting.
