The undergraduate program provides the background necessary in areas of accounting such as financial reporting, auditing, taxation, cost management, budgeting, accounting information systems, and management advisory services.

Alumni of our programs currently have industry positions such as auditors in public accounting firms, internal auditors in insurance companies, management accountants in manufacturing firms, accountants in both State and Federal government agencies (including positions as special agents for the FBI), and management consultants in consulting firms.
