Bachelor of Science with a Major in Business, Accountancy Concentration
The bachelor of science with a major in business (BS) with a concentration in accountancy degree program provides undergraduate students with the analytical tools and conceptual framework needed to understand and record financial transactions.
The School of Business offers two degree options for students to study accountancy: the BS in business with a concentration in accountancy and the bachelor of science with a major in accountancy (BS). The BS degree with an accountancy concentration is intended to be paired with a second, complementary field of concentration. For students who plan to work as an accountant, often with a CPA designation, the BS in accountancy degree program is more appropriate as it offers substantially more preparation in accounting.
Accountancy is an ideal second concentration for BS in business students who plan to pursue careers in finance as it provides a strong background in information that underlies many financial decisions. Likewise, a second concentration in accountancy is an excellent choice for BS in business students with a concentration in information systems as such students often pursue jobs related to accounting information systems.
