Accounting Major

Accounting Professor Michael Blackwell

 

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 major in Accounting.  The program has three objectives:

  1. To prepare students to enter the fields of public or private accounting with an adequate background to be effective practitioners.
  2. To provide students with the necessary skills, abilities, and educational background needed to sit for the C.P.A. and C.M.A. examinations.
  3. To educate students to become highly qualified, ethical professionals in great demand in today’s business world.

Gary E. West College of Business graduates have an encouraging record of success. Many have obtained the C.P.A. certificate and are now in responsible positions in government, industry, and public accounting. Their frequent communications tell us of their successes and confirm that our Accounting Major ranks among the best.
