Career Opportunities

The primary objective of the undergraduate accounting program is to prepare students for accounting positions at the entry level in industry, government and other organizations in the public and private sectors. A major in accounting is also excellent preparation for law school or graduate school.

Become a CPA: Joint Program

The Joint Program enables students to simultaneously earn a B.B.A. and M.S. in Accounting which prepares graduates to become licensed, certified public accountants (CPAs).

Students in their third year of the joint program have the opportunity to meet, network and interview with recruiters from the top public accounting firms in the nation. This is a great opportunity for students to obtain an internship for the spring or summer semester of their senior year, potentially resulting in a full-time offer.
