The accounting major is designed to provide a knowledge base in both financial and managerial accounting. Accounting courses expose the student to a broad perspective of accounting needed for management responsibility within a company, in the field of public accounting, or studies in a graduate program.
The major provides course work that helps prepare students for the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam and the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam. Indiana and most states require individuals to have completed a minimum of 150 hours of college credit to be eligible to take the CPA exam. Accounting majors who plan to enter the public accounting field are strongly encouraged to complete at least 150 hours before they complete their college education.
