Minor in Accounting
The Accounting Minor complements a wide range of majors by providing a technical understanding of financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and the use of accounting information in organizational decision-making. Students gain foundational knowledge in the preparation and interpretation of financial statements, as well as the application of accounting information in financial management.
The curriculum includes an introduction to federal tax compliance for individuals and major types of business entities. Students also complete additional upper-division coursework that allows for exploration of specialized topics such as budgeting, project management, information systems, auditing, or advanced areas of financial reporting and taxation.
This minor prepares students to better understand the financial operations of organizations across all sectors, public, private, and nonprofit, and enhances their ability to contribute effectively in any professional role.
