Accounting Concentration

The Scheller College of Business offers a Concentration in Accounting. This major concentration program provides students with an emphasis in accounting through a fairly diverse set of course topics.

Accounting is the language of business, the scoreboard which measures operational success and failure. Used by managers within the firm, accounting provides the information necessary to make effective decisions in the international marketplace. Some accounting courses will help you prepare for several qualifying examinations in accounting and finance such as: Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA), and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). Meet with your advisor if you plan on pursuing such an examination to ensure you take the best approach to your class choices.

Business Majors
After completing ACCT 2101 (Accounting I) and ACCT 2102 (Accounting II), students complete six advanced accounting elective courses (four required courses and two elective courses). Students must earn a grade of "C" or higher in all courses for a concentration.
