The Accounting Department offers students the opportunity both to develop practical skills and acquire general knowledge of Accounting. Graduate students are invited to look at our Master’s of Accountancy  (“MAcc”) program.

The accounting major provides students with the theories and procedures necessary to prepare them for the many facets of the accounting profession, such as public, corporate, managerial, tax and government accounting.

Students graduating with an Accounting degree from the University of Nevada Reno are prepared to obtain employment in a competitive job market, start a business, or continue their education in graduate and professional degree programs. Typical careers for our graduates include: Certified Public Accountant (CPA), management accountant, financial analyst, internal auditor, government agent (FBI, IRS) and tax accountant. 

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 187 programs worldwide to have separate accounting accreditation from the AACSB. Accounting is the only discipline within business for which separate accreditation is given. We work hard to maintain the quality and continuous improvement expected from programs that have achieved separate AACSB accreditation.
