125 credits including 86 credits required in the major

Though the recording of business and financial transactions is as old as civilization, the modern profession of accounting is one of constant change—in theories, regulations, and practices. Students acquire both the technical accounting knowledge and the analytical and managerial capabilities needed to apply that knowledge to complex business issues. Students are equipped to enter and perform with distinction in the public and private sectors.

The accounting profession is divided into two broad areas: financial and managerial accounting. Financial accounting involves the preparation and use of accounting information for external reporting. Managerial accounting relates to the preparation and use of accounting information to measure managerial performance and develop plans and controls within an organization.
