Undergraduate Major

Why major in Accounting?

In addition to the functional accounting knowledge taught in the accounting core classes, faculty emphasize other skills required to succeed in an accounting career. While classes still involve lectures, the core accounting curriculum is taught in an active learning environment where faculty and students are engaged in dialogue. Students take more responsibility for the learning process, while faculty often serve as "learning guides."

Accounting Course Plan

The accounting core is composed of six courses (18 hours) taken over three semesters. Students may begin the accounting core in either the fall or spring semester. If combined with one of the accounting master’s degrees, however, a fall semester start is recommended.

The core courses are taken in the following sequence and are taken concurrently in the semester indicated.

II. First Semester   6 hours
