Bachelor of Arts - Bachelor of Science
Accounting is one of the most active of professions. The demand for
accountants has been increasing for a number of years and is expected to continue
to rise. One of the characteristics of today's economy is the growing complexity
of organizations. As the enterprise becomes larger and its operations more complex,
accounting records, analyses, and reports become more critical to the guidance
and control of the organization.
The accountant's activities address two major concerns in the organization. First, the accountant reports at regular intervals on the progress and financial situation of the organization. Such reports and financial statements are vital to management, creditors, investors, government agencies, and employees. Second, the accountant supplies detailed analyses and studies of costs and revenues by which management makes decisions for the future.
The Aurora University accounting program is designed to prepare students for careers in profit and non-profit organizations, and in government service. Students have the opportunity to select courses emphasizing managerial or public accounting and, if interested, prepare for the Certified Management Accounting (CMA) or Certified Public Accounting (CPA) professional examinations.*
