Why Study Accounting at CSB+SJU?

CSB and SJU is among the top three accounting programs in Minnesota and the only one at a true liberal arts school. Accounting at a liberal arts college gives students a broader perspective on life and extraordinary critical thinking skills that will set them apart.

As a student in our program, our faculty is focused on helping you succeed. Our department works hard to prepare our students for life after college, from internships to job opportunities to coursework relevant to what they will do after college. Plus, accounting majors at CSB and SJU can qualify to take the CPA exam in four years of college, which is a year less than most places. We estimate that this advantage alone will save you well over $50,000!
