Accounting Minor Program Overview
Often called, ‘the language of business,’ accounting is the primary information system for all business and non-profit organization. Accounting is a dynamic field, characterized by continuous change in response to changing business practices. The accounting minor is an excellent complement to a major in a business field. The accounting minor requires two accounting courses at the Principles level, two accounting courses at the intermediate level, plus one additional accounting course.
Careers in accounting exist in nearly every industry. Students trained in accountancy can find employment preparing statements or performing audits for local, state, and federal government agencies, for-profit enterprises, as well as corporations and non-profit organizations in roles such as:
- Staff Accountant
- General Accountant
- Bookkeeper
- Audit Clerk
- Financial Analyst

In internships, you can refine your abilities and learn the workings of the profession in advance of entering the job market.

business, the EFI invites discussions between students and faculty of scholarly institutions,
corporate leaders, policy-makers, and members of the community.
