Accounting is at the core of nearly every institution and organization-from your favorite sports teams and bands to nonprofit groups and Fortune 500 companies. If you want the financial expertise and big-picture business perspective to help organizations make smarter decisions and make a difference, even in uncertain times, this is the program for you. And if you like giving back and being at the center of it all-and you want a flexible, highly respected career that can take you virtually anywhere-then accounting might be the perfect fit.What will I learn?As an accounting major, you'll learn about accounting concepts and theories and gain the technical skills and competencies you'll need to deliver reliable information as a professional accountant. Most of your classes will cover such subjects as financial reporting, auditing, taxation and data analysis, and you'll have time for some electives, too. Because your professional success often depends on navigating complex situations and working with people (often at the same time), you'll also learn how to think critically, mitigate risk, share actionable insights and communicate effectively with clients and colleagues.
