Accounting degrees and programs

Accounting offers students the opportunity both to develop practical skills and acquire general knowledge in Accounting, a field with extensive career and post-graduate research opportunities. We offer an accounting minor and major, along with an on-campus or online master's degree program. 

The College of Business also allows for a hybrid accounting/information systems major for those students interested in using both accounting and information skills in a single career path.
