Bachelor of Science

Accounting is the process of identifying, measuring, and communicating economic
information to permit informed judgments and decisions by users of the
information. Such information is required and used by parties, both internal and
external to a business, a not-for-profit organization, and other entities.
The curriculum is designed with sufficient flexibility to prepare students for
the many career options available to accounting graduates. Among the principal
career options are public accounting (Certified Public Accountants), corporate
accounting, not for profit accounting and other business consulting or finance flavored
careers. Illinois and most other states require 150 hours of college credit to
sit for the CPA exam. [Read more details]
