Университет Виргинии, BS, Accounting

McIntire's accounting program, which helps students develop financial expertise, is widely recognized as one of the country’s best. Building on the broad liberal arts background acquired during a student’s first two years at the University, the program is designed to give the student both a sound general business foundation and the analytical and conceptual skills essential to an understanding of current accounting practices. Students learn to analyze and provide quantitative information essential to decision making and creative problem solving in the business world. The program's highly sought-after graduates work as business consultants, financial managers, independent auditors, and tax advisers. The School's undergraduate curriculum provides many of the accounting courses typically required by state licensing boards, and serves as an outstanding preparation for students who wish to take the CPA exam. Because most states now require 150 credit hours of college-level courses, many of our undergraduate students who wish to become CPAs stay on for our highly regarded graduate program in accounting.
