Welcome to the Accounting Department!

About Us

Accounting faculty

Accounting is the lifeblood of business. In order to remain competitive, organizations of every size need professionals who can measure economic events, process data into reports as well as communication and interpret results. Equipped with these reports, managers and executives can evaluate the overall health of their organizations and decide how to allocate resources. Today's accounting students not only possess technical knowledge of accounting but also have the skills to use the latest technology and communicate with the highest levels of management in order to achieve organizational objectives. With accounting affecting every part of an organization, it's no wonder that it is often referred to as the "language of business."

Accounting Program

The Accounting Department provides an education for students who wish to be business leaders with a thorough knowledge of the fundamental accounting concepts and a strong background in data analysis, problem-solving, and business communication in a diverse environment. Organizations of every size need accounting professionals who can measure economic events, process data, interpret and communicate the results, and help management to use their reports to evaluate the overall performance of their organizations and decide how to allocate resources. Students may specialize in a specific career field by selecting courses that will further prepare them for their chosen career (Career Emphasis). 
  
The total course/unit requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration with an option in accounting is 116 semester units. Freshmen should follow the Degree Curriculum Sheet for the year they began taking courses in the accounting option at 最新糖心Vlog.
 
Transfer students can use the same curriculum sheet, but should cross off any courses that have been transferred for credit.  Look in the BroncoDirect “Transfer Credit Report” to make sure your classes were transferred correctly. Additional help is available from the Student Success Center.
