The Accounting major is a comprehensive major (76 credit hours) designed to provide excellent entry-level accounting professionals with a Christian worldview who are prepared for graduate study and for careers in public or private accounting in for-profit, nonprofit and governmental organizations. The Accounting major is designed to help prepare graduates for the examination leading to the professional certificate of Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Certified Management Accountant (CMA). You can complete the 150 credit hours required by most states for the CPA exam by using the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) to complete credits, by completing a second major such as Finance or Management, or by completing the undergraduate and accelerated Master of Accountancy in five years through our consortium agreement with Missouri State University's graduate school.

Students in this major will complete the business core requirements that provide a foundation in economics, management, accounting, marketing, law, finance, business communications, international business and strategic management. The major also requires courses in operations management, accounting software, intermediate accounting, cost accounting, advanced accounting, government & nonprofit accounting, information systems management, auditing, Federal income tax I, and three credits from forensics accounting, Federal Income Tax II, accounting internship, or other business-related courses.
