The study of Financial Accounting includes learning to prepare a company’s financial statements based on information gathered in its general ledgers. Financial accountants also participate in the marketing of important financial decisions for a company, including mergers and acquisitions, benefits/ Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) planning, and long-term financial projections. The study of Managerial Accounting, however, focuses on the decision-making process and application of accounting information to that process. The skills learned through the study of Managerial Accounting include cost analysis, analysis of new contracts, and expense control. Managerial accountants are often involved in analyzing the structure of an organization to better control costs and expenses.

All School of Business majors can also be completed through the dual degree program EUROBIZ (dual degree with German Studies).

Many students who major in Accounting choose to complete a Master's of Science in Accounting (MSA) as a way to qualify for the Certified Public Accountant's licensure exam (CPA).
