Accounting Major

Although it has roots in ancient times, professional accounting is largely a 19th century development. The field has increased greatly in importance, while evolving to keep pace with global, technological, regulatory and complex tax-related changes. 

At the School of Business Administration, we strive to provide our accounting students with the analytical and technical skills necessary for sound professional judgment in financial decision making. Courses focus on preparation and interpretation of balance sheets and income statements; accounting concepts and procedures for bonds, leases, pensions, income taxes and owners’ equity; techniques for database design and information systems auditing; concepts related to business and individual taxation, and more.
