Accounting professionals play a key role as decision-makers in all organizations. They are relied on for their critical thinking, communication, and technical skills. Accounting is a versatile major and allows the graduate to work in a variety of roles. Common career paths include public accounting, internal audit, financial analysis, management accounting and income tax accounting. Accounting is also a basic preparation for fraud and forensic accountants, consultants, and work in not-for-profit organizations.

The post-baccalaureate accounting certificate prepares students for many career options or provides the skills to broaden an existing career. Students will study financial and managerial accounting, intermediate accounting, auditing, tax accounting, auditing, finance, and business law. As part of the business core, students will also study leadership, management, business analysis, and global business. 

Accounting is one of the best options in terms of career flexibility, high compensation, quick career advancement, and career placement after graduation. For students who think critically, communicate effectively, and develop the ability to analyze and interpret financial information, a career in accounting may be a good fit.
