Accounting is the language of business. It involves the development and communication of financial and operational information necessary for decision making in both private industry and public-sector organizations. Accounting practices are comprehensive, measuring the result of an organization's economic activities and conveying this information to others. The curriculum will provide students with the tools to create and organize financial information, identify and apply accounting principles, and communicate the economic and legal implications of those financial transactions. Utilizing research, interpersonal communication, and problem solving, accounting students will be equipped to think critically about financial transactions and the implications it may have on an entire financial management system.
