Accounting is the language of business and is an increasingly complex subject matter. To study accounting is to study information systems and controls, financial reporting, analysis, taxation, decision making, managing technology, developing business plans, and formulating business strategy. The AACSB-accredited 120-credit-hour degree programs include 21 hours of accounting built around the core business curriculum. The accounting programs offer technical accounting knowledge in taxation and professional accounting that lead to an enriching career in private, public, and nonprofit sectors.The traditional pathways of managerial, public, and general accounting have expanded, and accountants are becoming increasingly specialized. The primary areas of specialization are auditing, tax, accounting systems, cost accounting, budget and forecast accounting, and forensic accounting.
