Description


The Accounting and Information Systems Department offers students the opportunity both to develop practical skills and acquire general knowledge of two key business areas: Accounting and technology- based Information Systems. The accounting and information systems major is for students interested in using both accounting and information skills in a single career path.

The College of Business is accredited by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the premier accrediting agency for business programs worldwide. In addition, we are one of fewer than 175 programs worldwide to have separate accounting accreditation from the AACSB. Accounting is the only discipline within business for which separate accreditation is given; as such, the other business programs are not separately accredited. We work very hard to maintain the quality and continuous improvement expected from programs that have achieved AACSB accreditation.
