The Department of Accounting and Finance prepares students for careers in this field. Programs provide a strong theoretical foundation while emphasizing practical application.
Students participate in experiential learning activities such as internships with public accounting firms, the Accounting Student Association, and the Atkins Investment Group—a student-run organization involved in managing an all-equity portfolio of approximately $50,000.
Undergraduate Accounting Option
The undergraduate Accounting Option prepares students for a career in accounting and for certification exams, such as CPA, as well as entrance to our Master of Science in Accounting program.
Undergraduate Finance Option
The undergraduate Finance Option exposes students to all three major branches of finance: investments, corporate, and financial institutions. It also helps students planning to sit for the CFA exam.
Graduate Degree Programs
The department offers a Concentration in Finance in most MBA programs and a Master of Science in Accounting program. Launched in 2000, the MSA program draws from among the best students at the University and maintains a virtually perfect placement record. Obtaining a Master's degree is a necessary requirement for taking the CPA exam in most states, including Massachusetts and Maine. Check out Wild Accountants, the MSA newsletter.
