Key Summary

About: The BBA in Accounting focuses on foundational financial principles, preparing students for various roles in the accounting field. Students learn about financial reporting, taxation, auditing, and management accounting. The program covers the use of accounting software and analytical tools essential for modern accounting practices.

Career Outcomes: Graduates have opportunities in diverse fields such as public accounting, management accounting, government finance, and corporate finance. Possible job titles include accountant, financial analyst, auditor, and tax consultant.

The role of accountants in business continues to evolve with the accelerating demands of a global economy. While traditional skills will always be in demand, accountants are now required to supplement their financial expertise with technical and communication skills. The next generation of accountants will need the knowledge and ability to analyze financial information and convert those results into predictive tools. Ultimately, successful businesses are managed by financial information. No one is better prepared or qualified to produce, analyze, and interpret that information than an accountant.

In order to sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination, students are required to have 36 hours of accounting, all of which are available in the HSU curriculum. Students must also have 150 total hours of academic credit from an accredited institution; that is, 26 hours beyond the 124 hours required for the B.B.A. degree.
