Programs

As an Accountant, you provide financial information through the preparation, analysis, and verification of financial documents.

In this program, you will:

• Learn both the practical applications and the theoretical aspects of accounting.
• Develop the problem-solving, decision-making, communication, and leadership skills necessary to compete in a dynamic global marketplace.
• Gain an understanding of the social, ethical, economic, legal, and regulatory environment in which businesses operate.
• Be prepared for a professional career in public, managerial, or governmental accounting, and/or advanced study within the discipline.

When you complete this degree, you are eligible to sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination in Michigan. While this program satisfies the requirements to sit for the examination, those pursuing a CPA licensure are required to have obtained 225 quarter hours of credit prior to applying for their CPA license. You may contact the Michigan State Board of Accountancy Licensing Bureau for further information.

If you want to sit for the examination in other states, check with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (http://www.nasba.org), which serves as a forum for the 54 U.S. boards of accountancy, for the state in which you intend to practice.
