About

Accounting is a specialized major that prepares students to interact actively in today's business environment by putting accounting theories and principles into practice in a variety of institutions. The accounting department offers a 132-credit-hour integrated curriculum. The syllabus includes University, Faculty, and Department requirements to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to work in various administrative positions in public and private sector companies in various fields (i.e. internships, finance, consulting, and auditing).

As a result, students can confidently pursue higher education or a professional career. The new course syllabus, which has been in place since 2006 and is regularly updated, focuses on improving students' skills in Accounting in general, and also their computer skills and English language in particular; additionally, it is concerned with academic research, which has been made mandatory since 2019.

The Accounting Department modules are taught in Arabic and English, depending on the student's track when applying to their bachelor's program. Computer labs are available to use when necessary, based on course modules, with all necessary specialized accounting programs or other research databases available. Furthermore, in 2006, the department passed the education quality test for accounting departments in Jordanian universities.

The Al Hussein Fund for Excellence's experts praised the department's curriculum. The department received excellent scores on the university competency test when compared to other universities, and it was ranked third among Jordan's seventeen universities and academic institutions, outperforming most public and private universities in Jordan, earning the department's graduates an excellent reputation and assisting them in advancing their careers.

Students with a high school diploma or its equivalent from outside Jordan can enroll in higher education institutions directly through websites of public and private universities or intermediate community colleges based on their averages. Universities implement the credit hours system, which allows students to choose courses according to their study plan.

In addition, students wishing to enroll in postgraduate programs are required to provide a certificate confirming their English proficiency level in a TOEFL or IELTS exam. They could also demonstrate a certain proficiency level in French or German. Lastly, they could take an English language exam held by the higher education institution they apply in.
