Student Learning Outcomes
Upon graduation from the B.S. in accounting program, a student will be able to:
  • Demonstrate entry-level technical competence in financial accounting, taxation, cost/managerial and auditing. The competency level is not sufficient to meet the technical requirements for professional certification but will serve as the technical foundation for graduate education.
  • Demonstrate technical competence in domestic and global business through the study of major disciplines within the fields of business.
  • Define, analyze and devise solutions for structured and unstructured accounting problems and issues by using cohesive and logical reasoning patterns for evaluating information, materials and data.
  • Recognize and apply the AICPA code of professional conduct to ethical problems that occur in accounting practice.
  • Conceptualize a complex issue into a coherent written statement and oral presentation.
  • Demonstrate the essential skills, knowledge and abilities to work effectively in teams.
  • Exhibit competence in the uses of technology and information systems in modern organizational and accounting operations.

 
Students seeking an accounting career have the option of selecting a four-year B.S. in accounting degree program or a unified five-year B.S./M.S. in accounting degree (see M.S. in accounting requirements). These programs cover the subject matter that is tested on the Uniform Certified Public Accountants (CPA) Examination and other certification examinations. Seniors in the B.S. in accounting program may begin work on the master of science in accounting degree if pre-approved by the Department of Accountancy based on their formal application to the master of science in accounting program.
