Real-World Experience
During their time at Lindenwood, accounting majors have the opportunity to gain real-world experience through the VITA Tax Clinic. This free service allows community members from the local area, including some students, to bring in their tax documents and have accounting students file their tax return with the oversight of an accounting professor.
The Lindenwood University accounting department offers a Bachelor of Science in accounting, which includes subject-intensive coursework, and a Bachelor of Arts in accounting, which is generally a more expansive and diverse curriculum.
