Career Opportunities

Career opportunities are vast with an accounting degree. Large and small companies keep records of business activities. Accounting graduates can fit into large companies with responsibility to help with part of the accounting system. In smaller companies, graduates may be given responsibility that ranges from maintaining part to all of the company’s financial records (usually under the direction of an outside CPA).

Career goals for students with an accounting degree may also include other fields such as management or marketing. Accounting serves as a universal base that allows students to talk “the language of business.” Mastering the concepts and skills of accounting enhances effectiveness and value.

Objectives
Students will be exposed to a blend of reasoning based on theory, applying accounting concepts in practice, and maximizing computer skills. Students will develop confidence in understanding the theory of accounting and applying the concepts to problem solving situations in various business structures (proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations). Hands-on personal computer experience is emphasized.
