Why Choose an Accountancy Minor?

The Accountancy Minor compliments major fields of study in other departments and enhances students' major and career goals with a specialization in accounting. In addition, it allows students to choose a concentration in a particular area of accounting, such as financial, managerial, or tax.

The Accounting Minor consists of six courses, or 18 credit hours. Two of the six courses are required and provide students with the accounting basics essential in all areas of accounting. The four electives can then be tailored to the particular interests of the students.
