Reporting on the financial affairs of private and public institutions, preparing regulatory reports, and tax return preparation require sound accounting procedures. Since management decisions are made from accounting information, qualified accountants must be available, not only as executive accountants for industrial firms but also as public accountants for auditing and for general services to business firms and governmental agencies. The
major in accounting is designed to prepare students for positions in these areas.
A student is not permitted to repeat any accounting course for which they have previously earned a grade of "C" or better.
The following courses are required:
ACC 331 ACC 341 ACC 371
ACC 372 ACC 381 ACC 451
Choose two electives from the following:
ACC 416 ACC 432
ACC 452 ACC 461
Choose one from the following:
ECO 330 FIN 332 MGT 334

TRANSIENT COURSE CREDIT
All students majoring in Accounting must receive prior approval from the Chair of the Department before taking courses in the major field at another institution. Failure to obtain prior approval may result in loss of transfer credit for the course work.
Only equivalent courses with grades of “C” or above from a college of business that is accredited by AACSB International will be accepted.
