Accounting

Accounting plays a significant role in our social and economic system. Decision-makers rely on accounting procedures to understand resources, create budgets, and make long-term business plans. 

The accounting concentration is designed for students who are interested in careers in industry or government accounting, and for students who intend to work for advanced degrees in business and law.

The accounting concentration classes below are in addition to the general Business Management and Administration major requirements.
