 Accounting Program Mission

The mission of the Accounting Program is to prepare individuals to enter the accounting profession, to strengthen the skills of those already part of the workforce, and to develop lifelong learning skills and professional relationships. Preparation for the accounting profession encompasses learning the functions of accounting, the underlying body of concepts that form accounting theory, and the application of these concepts to practical problems and situations. Since accounting inter-relates with other disciplines, the student is made aware of the multifaceted nature of business. Emphasis is placed on technical knowledge, problem analysis, and solution, information systems, communication, and ethics.
