The College of Management offers a Certificate in Accounting. This certificate program provides students with an emphasis in accounting through a fairly diverse set of course topics.
Accounting is the language of business, the scoreboard which measures operational success and failure. Used by managers within the firm, accounting provides the information necessary to make effective decisions in the international marketplace. Some accounting courses will help you prepare for several qualifying examinations in accounting and finance such as: Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA), and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). Meet with your advisor if you plan on pursuing such an examination to ensure you take the best approach to your class choices. Management Majors
