The major provides the student the opportunity to develop a solid conceptual foundation as well as the skills required for entry-level positions in public, private and governmental accounting. In addition, it allows students to prepare for graduate programs in such areas as business, government, finance and law. Students who complete the accounting major and have earned a baccalaureate degree are academically qualified to sit for the CPA Examination. The discipline of accounting requires that the student develop an ability to think analytically and to organize and categorize a mass of data. It further requires the student to develop an ability to synthesize the information and present it in summarized reports that are understandable to the public. Citizens in a highly developed economic society such as ours should understand economic descriptions of its complex organizations; they should also realize the limitations of those financial reports. As professional accountants, our graduates will be expected to present and interpret financial information, both in writing and orally, to the public. Major Minor Courses (ACCT)
