Bachelor of Business Administration [B.B.A] [Accounting] From Andrews University

A Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting is a starting point for career success. All businesses?from small businesses and giant corporations to hospitals and government offices?employ accounting professionals to help maintain their day-to-day operations. After graduation, become an accountant, auditor, budget analyst, healthcare administrator, or financial analyst or use your BBA as a stepping stone to becoming a certified public accountant, certified internal auditor, or certified management accountant to increase your marketability.

Accounting is concerned primarily with (1) measuring income, expenditures, and wealth generated by a business enterprise, and (2) communicating information about the financial condition of economic organizations and the results of their financial activities. Thus, accounting is the language of business?the backbone of the free enterprise system.

The accounting major is designed to meet the needs of students preparing for accounting careers in business, government, not-for-profit organizations, or public accounting, including those who desire to secure, through state examination, the status of Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or that of Certified Management Accountant (CMA).

Students planning to sit for the CPA exam should consult their state?s Board of Public Accountancy before planning their accounting program. Each state has its own rules, regulations, and specific course requirements. Assistance may be obtained from the Accounting faculty.
