Accounting

Accounting is the language of business, and fluency in accounting opens many doors. All organizations require some kind of accounting system, and those who understand these systems are better positioned to manage their organizations. Activities are typically evaluated based upon accounting data in the form of budgets, internal reports, and financial statements. Familiarity with the systems that underlie these numbers is valuable to professionals working in large corporations, small businesses, hospitals, government, schools, and nonprofit organizations. Completing an Accounting minor will also enhance the ability to intelligently analyze, interpret and understand financial statements. When job-seeking, a minor in Accounting typically signifies a strong work ethic and superior analytical skills. However, please note: A minor in Accounting will not normally qualify a student for an accounting position at a company, nor will the student with an accounting minor be eligible to sit for the CPA exam.

The accounting minor allows students to add value to their degree by developing specialized expertise in accounting that fits their particular goals and interests. Students enhance their resume with the skills, experience and knowledge necessary to compete in today's global business environment.

A number of career paths would particularly benefit from the addition of an Accounting minor. Examples of disciplines that would benefit from the addition of an Accounting minor include: Economics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Information Systems, Marketing, Management and Law.
