Accounting (BS)

In the Bachelor of Science in Accounting program, students will gain knowledge of accounting, taxation, and auditing principles, as well as general business practices and relevant industry tools and technologies. This program will provide students with marketable skills in data analysis and visualizations for appropriate audiences, problem solving, professional communication and ethical practice. Students will apply the skills and knowledge obtained in the program in support of the identification of challenges and recommend solutions to drive business decisions. The content in this program was intentionally aligned to the Uniform Certified Public Accounting (CPA) Examination®. Completion of the BS Accounting alone will not satisfy complete educational eligibility to sit for the CPA licensure exam or to become licensed certified public accountants in most jurisdictions. Licensing requirements to sit for the CPA licensure exam vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Students are encouraged to review their jurisdiction-specific requirements. Jurisdiction educational requirements can be found on the website of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA), while Jurisdiction CPA licensing requirements can be found through the Accounting Licensing Library, powered by the NASBA.
