Roadmap: B.S. in Business Administration, Accounting Concentration

Accounting is a systematic way of analyzing and describing the activities of a business or other economic entity primarily in monetary terms to provide useful information to managers, owners, investors, creditors, regulatory agencies, and others. Graduates will be able to develop and interpret financial reports and narratives and function in a competitive professional environment. They will be prepared in at least two specialized areas: auditing of financial results, completion of tax returns, and applying appropriate software to accounting problems.
