What about becoming a partner in an international financial services firm or managing your own CPA practice? When you earn a degree from the department of Accounting and Business Law at St. Francis College, all this and more is possible. With strong job growth projected for the next several years, accounting is currently one of America’s hottest career fields.
The Accounting and Business Law Department at St. Francis College provides all management and accounting majors with the appropriate skills, knowledge and abilities to become successful professionals. The College offers several accounting programs designed to meet the diverse needs of interested students. Most of our students enroll in the combined BS/MS degree program, which meets the requirements to sit for the CPA examination. Students who already possess a BS degree in a related business field can apply to enroll in our new MS degree program in Professional Accounting.
Our programs prepare students for careers in public accounting, private accounting (corporate), or not-for-profit accounting (government agencies, foundations and associations such as hospitals, religious organizations and arts groups). Our internship programs help students gain the practical experience they’ll need to become successful members of today’s business world.
