Accounting - Bachelor of Arts
Walter E. Heller College of Business Administration

The accounting program is designed to achieve three major objectives:

1. To provide business administration and liberal arts students with an understanding of the development and use of accounting records and statements, budgeting funds, and cash flow analysis. For this purpose a two-semester course is offered that covers the development and use of the records, accounts, and financial statements of merchandising, service, and manufacturing concerns, whether organized as proprietorships, partnerships, or corporations.

2. To provide non-accounting business administration majors with further accounting courses to strengthen their fields of specialization.

3. To provide those students interested in accounting as a profession with the courses needed to prepare them for work as internal and external auditors, cost accountants, staff accountants, comptrollers, and public accountants or for positions in governmental and not-for-profit agencies and institutions.
