BA/BS in Accounting and Related Services

This sequence prepares students for a career in public accounting and meets the formal conditions for sitting the CPA examination. Students can give special attention to information systems as they connect to accounting. Accountants produce the information that others use to assess financial health, follow spending, prepare and check records, spot ways to work more efficiently, and ensure taxes are paid properly. Graduates have found jobs in banking, financial planning, sales, purchasing, product development, client management, production, and general management. Because faculty in business information systems belong to the accounting department, the program joins accounting alongside information technology. Applicants are urged to apply early. The department also houses faculty from business information systems. The program page lists faculty, career outcomes, and sample schedules. Tours run on campus or by video, and applications received before the priority date get a more favorable look for entry and for scholarship awards.
