Accounting
Accounting is the language of business that allows you to understand and use financial information while working with other business professionals.
Our accounting curriculum is designed to develop skills in analytical thinking, problem solving, communication, and team-building. These skills can be applied to a variety of careers in accounting including public accounting, internal auditing, industry-financial managerial accounting, forensic accounting, governmental accounting, tax-internal revenue service, investment banking, and higher education.
