Accounting Learning Objectives
The major in Accounting is designed to:
- prepare students for entry-level positions in public accounting, industry, government, or other accounting-related positions;
- prepare interested students for graduate study in business;
- prepare students for further study leading to professional certification as a certified public accountant (CPA), certified management accountant (CMA), and other professional certifications.
Prepare yourself to handle new demands on the accounting profession and the growing complexity of the business environment!
As evidenced by the strong demand in recent years for accounting
graduates, the marketplace has clearly seen the value of a degree in
accounting. The McKenna School undergraduate curriculum in
accounting offers a student not only the specific skills needed to
begin a career in accounting, but also provides a broad overview of all
areas of a business enterprise. Our accounting majors have the unique
ability to enter the public accounting profession after completing
their undergraduate studies.
