Accounting

Accounting is the international language of business. In fact, it is much more. Managers of nearly all organizations, whether business, nonprofit or governmental, require accounting information to operate successfully. Financial statements prepared by accountants are used by individuals outside of these organizations to evaluate the performance of management and to make investing, lending, regulatory and other decisions. Accounting majors are well-versed in the preparation, use and limitations of accounting information, and understand business at a very fundamental level. Moreover, they offer knowledge and skills that most organizations require.

A major objective of the BBA program is to provide basic conceptual accounting and business knowledge as a foundation for accounting and business career development. Candidates for the Uniform CPA Examination in Texas must fulfill additional educational requirements.

Those students wishing to pursue a professional career in accounting are encouraged to apply to the Professional Program in Accounting (‘PPA’) offered by the Department of Accounting. To be a candidate for the MAc degree, students must be accepted into the PPA. This program seamlessly integrates the BBA program with the Neeley School’s Master of Accountancy (MAc) degree. The PPA program and the MAc degree complement the educational experience of the BBA accounting major by providing the additional accounting and business knowledge as well as professional development needed by successful public accounting professionals.
