Students pursuing a degree in business with a concentration in Accounting begin with a solid foundation in general education and introductory business courses. Early coursework typically includes principles of Accounting, Economics, Management, Marketing, and Computer Applications. These courses build the essential skills needed for more advanced study.

As students progress, they complete core business requirements and move into upper-level Accounting coursework. Topics often include intermediate Accounting, Federal Taxation, Auditing, and Accounting information systems. Emphasis is placed on real-world application, with opportunities to develop proficiency in tools like Microsoft Excel and to explore data-driven decision-making.

Many students choose to complement their Accounting studies with additional concentrations or coursework in areas like data analytics or management, broadening their skill sets and career prospects.

Another key component of the Accounting program is experiential learning. In select courses, students may engage in team-based projects that involve partnering with local organizations or nonprofits to solve financial or operational challenges. These opportunities allow students to apply classroom knowledge in meaningful, service-oriented ways that prepare them for professional success.
