The curriculum is designed to prepare students for entry into professional accounting careers or into graduate school. It achieves a balance between an extensive liberal arts curriculum and the study of accounting and other business disciplines. The program seeks to be an integral component in the mission of the College.
Students begin with acquiring a basic understanding of Accounting in two introductory courses and then continue in the program with two intermediate and two advanced accounting courses as well as courses in Cost and Budgets, Federal Income Taxation, and Auditing. Accounting students will be able to demonstrate proficiency in skills such as information technology and communication. Students will develop the ability to think critically and use problem-solving techniques in strategic decision-making, and achieve an understanding of accounting theory and practical applications. The program will emphasize an ethical perspective of the global economy and prepare graduates to meet the needs of the modern workplace.
Note: Students majoring in accounting must maintain a Grade Point Average of 2.0 or higher in their undergraduate accounting courses or a Grade Point Average of 3.0 or higher in their graduate accounting courses.
