Program Advisors:
Dr. Michael Kennedy
Purpose and Objectives:
The purpose of the Accounting major is to train students to take their place as managers and leaders in the business world and public service arenas. Accounting is the language of business because its concepts have to be used by owners, managers, creditors, employees, attorneys, suppliers, etc. to describe events of a business nature. Of course, accounting does not happen in a vacuum. It has to relate to all other aspects of business including but not limited to management, economics, finance, marketing, and ethics. It is this last aspect of business that is of such importance in the current world. It is important that ethics permeate all aspects of the accounting program leading not to just proficient accountants but to ethical business leaders.
Goals:
- Students will acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the basic principles and concepts of accounting.
- Students will also acquire the appropriate skills to be able to apply the information gained in the classes in different businesses.
- Students will integrate all aspects of their learning, understanding, knowledge, and skills concerning the application of accounting to business through internship opportunities and a final comprehensive controllership project.
- Students will develop an understanding of the ethical issues in business, in general, and in accounting, in particular, and will bring their faith and values to bear on business processes.
