BA/BS in Accounting and Related Services

This bachelor's major sits in the School of Accounting, Finance and Taxation within the Goddard School of Business and Economics, which holds AACSB accreditation. Coursework centers on reporting for companies, internal accounting for managers, audit practice, product costing, and how individuals and businesses are taxed. The aim is a firm grounding in financial practice for the global marketplace. Classes stay small and are led by instructors with ties to the regional business community, so students can get individual attention and build relationships with their instructors. Study abroad is possible through faculty-led trips or a semester exchange, with destinations that change by term. Graduates often work as staff accountants, payroll managers, management consultants or financial analysts. The degree also serves as a foundation for graduate study, including the university's Master of Accounting and Master of Taxation programs.
