The accounting program stresses basic conceptual business knowledge as the foundation for accounting career development, with varying degrees of specialization. The focus concentration in accounting is devoted to external financial reporting (annual reports) and other statutory accounting requirements under the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
A traditional accounting degree requires the completion of both the accounting focus and integral sequences. Alternatively, students complete a different integral. To take the Certified Public Accountant's (CPA) examination, coursework completion above and beyond the Bachelor of Business requirements is needed. A Master of Science in Accounting is designed to prepare students for a career in public accounting as well as meet the educational requirements of Ohio and most State Boards of Accountancy to take the CPA exam.
Typical accounting careers are in public accounting, industry, financial institutions, and governmental units. Possibilities include certified public accountants, managerial accountants, internal revenue agents, tax consultants, financial executives, internal auditors, and accounting directors in governmental agencies. The demand for the accounting graduate is high and is expected to increase.
