The Department of Accounting and Information Systems strives to provide a world class accounting and information systems education to our Âé¶¹´«Ã½. With our Undergraduate Programs we seek to prepare Âé¶¹´«Ã½ to enter the accounting and information systems professions with the skills and knowledge of business, information systems, and accounting concepts and practices.

Both Accounting and Information Systems majors provide a fundamental education for careers in public accounting (CPA) firms, large and small corporations, government agencies, or nonprofit organizations. The is designed to provide Âé¶¹´«Ã½ with flexibility to combine a core accounting education with a leading-edge specialty in accounting, business analytics, or another discipline. The Accounting & Business Analysis Major allows Âé¶¹´«Ã½ to select electives in the field of accounting as well as related disciplines to build a specialized background in Accounting Analytics, Artificial Intelligence & Accounting, Sustainability Accounting, or other emerging areas in accounting. This major also supports traditional corporate accounting careers such as cost accountant, internal auditor, management consultant, budget analyst, etc.

The Accounting & Business Analysis major is new, therefore, we cannot provide placement data specifically for this major. However, job placement for Accounting & Information Systems majors has been consistently high regardless of economic factors. Our most recent placement rate is 100%, with median starting salaries in excess of $80,000.
