What You'll Study
Accounting graduates receive a bachelor of science degree in business administration. The curriculum consists of business core courses, the accounting major, the general studies, and cooperative education. Students may choose between two tracks: Certified Management Accounting (CMA) and Certified Public Accounting (CPA). Both tracks require common courses, the CPA track requires additional course work in tax and auditing to meet the educational requirements for the New York State CPA examination.
