Program details
Expected duration: 4 years
The accounting major is the first step in obtaining a thorough understanding of accounting. The accounting major will give you the knowledge and professional judgment to determine the most useful way to communicate financial information.
After graduation, many students continue in their accounting studies and pursue a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation.
Choosing a major
