Accounting Degree Program Features
During your four years in our ACBSP-accredited business program, Accounting majors will prepare for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam, the accounting profession’s highest credential, and build analytical skills and competency through practical opportunities in the business field. A required practicum in the accounting field will open your mind to employment possibilities and provide the professional training you need to jumpstart your accounting career. Taylor Accounting internships are unique, allowing students to gain academic credit for busy-season internships with public accounting firms. The internships often lead to job offers before students begin their senior year.
Through case studies, you will learn how to use managerial or cost accounting to help organizations make decisions and achieve their financial objectives. Taylor provides optional educational tracks that prepare students to take the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam before graduation. The CMA credential is the global benchmark for managerial accounting.
Auditing classes will teach you how to assure stakeholders that the organization’s claimed financial position and operational results are credible. Accounting theory and tax courses will allow you to impact society’s operations through tax research, planning, and compliance—affecting personal, business, and governmental aspects. Choosing to take international business courses will expand your vision of global business culture.
