| Department of Accounting Mission: Our primary purpose is to provide for general professional accounting education leading to careers in both private and public sectors. The baccalaureate concentration in accounting provides a foundation for a career in accounting or a basis to pursue graduate study. The Master of Accountancy degree focuses on educational preparation for a career as a certified public accountant or for advanced placement in industry, government, or not-for-profit organizations. The Department also provides courses in accounting as a service for both undergraduate and graduate non-accounting majors. |
| The Department encourages faculty research contributions in a broad range of areas with an emphasis on applied scholarship and instructional development. As members of the accounting profession, the Department supports faculty and student participation in professional organizations. |

| Reporting on the financial
affairs of private and public institutions, preparing
regulatory reports, and tax return preparation
require sound accounting procedures. Since management
decisions are made from accounting information,
qualified accountants must be available, not only
as executive accountants for industrial firms
but also as public accountants for auditing and
for general services to business firms and governmental
agencies. The major in accounting is designed
to prepare students for positions in these areas. |

| A
student is not permitted to repeat any accounting
course for which they have previously earned a
grade of "C" or better. |
