Accounting Concentration
The accounting concentration will prepare students for the public accounting profession and help to enable them to take the CPA exam. However, individualized advising is necessary as students must meet the educational requirements of the specific state they intend to take the CPA exam in.
All of the courses in the concentration are necessary, but may not be sufficient, to sit for the CPA exam, depending on the state.
- Sponsored by: Accounting and Law Division Faculty Contacts: Jan Bell, William H. Coyle, Robert Halsey, and Joanne D. Williams
