BS.ACCT - Accounting, B.S.

The accounting major combines the strengths of a liberal arts education with preparation for a professional career. Accounting coursework emphasizes critical analysis, problem solving, and communication. Completion of the major will, in most cases, prepare graduates for licensure as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the State of California. CPA licensure requirements vary somewhat across states. Graduates who choose career paths other than public accounting have a strong background for entering careers in finance, management, and law.

Accounting majors can pursue a double major. Popular combinations with Accounting are Financial Economics, Global Business, or Business Administration, though other combinations are possible with careful planning. Accounting students are encouraged to study abroad and to complete an internship.
