It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

One of the most important fields within business is accounting. Accounting makes it possible to quantify and qualify various business aspects so as to aid business-related decision making. With an emphasis in accounting from a bachelor of business administration, students will learn many important business aspects along with the training required to become an accountant. Mathematics is one of the most important tools for working with accounting concepts, so a strong background in areas such as algebra will be imparted to students. Quantitative analysis, tax regulations, legal matters, and financial management are also vital areas of study. The business side of the degree will focus on principles of economics, project management, and marketing. The use of information technology and databases are also increasingly important in the current technological landscape, so students can expect courses in their use as well.

An emphasis in accounting within a bachelor of business administration yields a versatile degree. Careers in business as operational or project managers may be great choices. Graduates will be especially well-suited for accounting management. With a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, graduates will be well-positioned to pursue careers as accountants for organizations or private practice. Careers in auditing or as a treasurer are also great opportunities that allow work in both the private and government sectors.
