Department Mission:
The Accounting and Business Law Department at St. Francis College offers several programs designed to provide you with the skills, knowledge, and abilities you need for professional success and career advancement.
Our most popular program is the combined B.S./M.S. degree program, which, by its completion, students graduate with the following degrees, Bachelors Degree in Accounting and Masters Degree in Accounting, as well as qualifications to take the CPA exam.
For students already holding a Bachelor’s Degree and wanting to advance their studies, pursuing our stand-alone M.S. degree program is ideal. This popular program is for people looking to switch careers or enhance their status at their current employer.
Both undergraduate and graduate 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). To supplement their academic experience at St. Francis, students also have the option of joining clubs and participating in activities.

“St. Francis College's rigorous curriculum and dedicated faculty have provided me with the knowledge and skills needed to understand the intricacies of business operations from the inside out.”
“Being part of a small school helped me build connections and understand the importance of knowing people and how that would translate into business opportunities.”
“The first accounting course solidified my decision. I saw how demanding the major was. Professor [Louis] D'Elia did a great job at explaining the basics and keeping students motivated.”
“I definitely think I made the right choice to go to St. Francis. Everything kind of fell into place.”
“SFC is equal to any of the bigger schools, if not better. I think the advantage of a smaller school is you get a more personal experience.”
