Our accounting program is solid, accredited and superb for all interested learners (yep, that includes you too, creative thinkers and extroverts). This is where implementation and auditing can be the center focus of your degree. You’ll manage, examine, and communicate the financial resources of an organization, all while paving the way to achieve your CPA or go straight into the field. With a bright mind and promising future, you’ll find a career in Financial Analysis, Public Accounting, Management Accounting, Banking, Taxation, or Finance, to name a few.
