Accounting focuses on recording business transactions and preparation of financial statements. In this major, accounting students learn how to assist a business with business transactions, preparing taxes, keeping accurate records, tracking costs, and more! This major is great for students who enjoy math and wish to develop analytical, decision-making, and communication skills.
Accounting requires future planning! Students planning to take the CPA exam are responsible for researching and understanding CPA educational requirements, which vary from state to state. Further information is available www.nasba.org.
