Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) - Accounting

The LeBow College of Business's accounting major is designed to provide basic conceptual accounting and business knowledge for careers in accounting and taxation in many settings. Courses cover accounting, auditing, tax preparation, and related topics. Students learn how accounting produces information for making decisions about organizations. The greatest range of career opportunities are in public, private and government accounting. Professional accountants are normally certified as public accountants (CPA) or managerial accountants (CMA) after passing professional examinations. The University's co-op program provides practical experience for accounting students. Time spent working in accounting co-op positions is accepted as part of the one year of accounting experience required for the Certified Public Accountant certificate in Pennsylvania and many other states.
