The Accounting Core
The Accounting program is designed to prepare you for
an entry level career in a number of business and accounting
services including public, managerial, and governmental
accounting, as well as internal auditing. In each of
these major fields, accountants and auditors prepare,
analyze, and verify financial documents in order to
provide information to management, clients, investors,
and other end users.
Career Opportunities
An undergraduate degree in Accounting will prepare you
for numerous corporate and government positions. You
might enter a company's management training program
or work in budgeting for a nonprofit. Several government
positions also need strong accounting and finance backgrounds.
Some potential careers choices include:
Managerial Accountant
Internal Auditor
Government Analyst
Financial Planner
Bank or trust officer
Forensic Accountant
In Ohio, you will need 150 hours of college credit
to prepare for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
exam, but you can become a certified internal auditor
or a certified managerial accountant with this degree.
As a certified public accountant you perform specialized
public accounting, auditing and tax work which requires
licensing through the state. Many graduates of the program
have gone on to pursue their master's in accounting
or MBA to fulfill the 150 hour requirement.
