The course offerings in the field of accounting are both exciting and challenging and are geared toward developing the student’s ability to think analytically and intelligently.
By completing our rigorous program, accounting students earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a specialization in Accounting. The program has three objectives:
- To prepare students to enter the fields of public or private accounting with an adequate background to be effective practitioners.
