Objectives:
The Accounting program and courses are designed to:

2. Articulate how the functional areas of business interrelate within organizations;
3. Improve skills in communication, analytical thinking and appreciating the human element in organizations; and
4. Develop specific skills applicable to the various aspects of the functional areas of business.
The program and major are designed to:
1. Prepare you for entry level positions;
2. Enable you to perform effectively in professional and career positions in management; and
3. Prepare you for graduate and professional study in business or management.
All students in this program will receive a thorough grounding in:
1. Economics (the theoretical basis for the discipline);
2. Mathematics and statistics (the tool subjects);
3. In the principles pertinent to all of the functional areas of business, accounting, finance, management, and marketing, in an integrated manner and with adequate focus on their international aspects; and
4. In financial and managerial accounting principles and applications, such that the formal requirements to sit for the CPA exam can be fulfilled.
The accounting major is designed so that the entire degree is available through day classes. The accounting major is also offered in time periods and formats that are designed for the needs of adult learners, offered through evening and weekend classes.
