Cabrini's accounting program prepares students for careers in accounting, professional examinations, and graduate studies. Its cooperative education program enables Accounting majors to integrate classroom theory with practical experience.
Employment opportunities for accounting majors are available in public accounting, industrial (private) accounting, government, not-for-profit organizations, and education.
Accounting is a rewarding profession that requires an undergraduate degree. Opportunities increase for those individuals with experience (i.e., cooperative education), graduate education (i.e., MBA), and certification (i.e., CPA, CMA, CIA).
All of the business major programs at Cabrini include a common business core which recognizes the 'enterprise' nature of today's business world that integrates the various strategic areas of business.
