 Return to: Programs in the College of Business
Business professionals are frequently asked to assume responsibilities that go beyond traditional, single discipline expectations. Undergraduate students may choose to combine Accounting and Information Systems classes to develop broad knowledge of both areas. Students will learn the theories and procedures of accounting along with technical knowledge of how computer systems can facilitate business processes and projects. With a foundational knowledge of accounting and information systems, students often use this major to pursue careers as forensic accountants, IT auditors, or business consultants.

Note: Students may not earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in Accounting and Information Systems AND either a second major in Accounting or a second major in Information Systems either concurrently or subsequently. Students may earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with dual majors in Accounting and Information Systems.
