In this program, you will:
- Select from a variety of accounting and/or finance courses to customize your educational experience.
- Learn how to apply the major concepts, skills and values of the accounting profession while communicating effectively with diverse audiences.
- Understand how to use decision-support tools to resolve contemporary business issues using ethical business practices.

- Have the chance to participate in events sponsored by the North Carolina Association of CPAs and other Charlotte-area professional organizations.
The program is designed to prepare you for a career in Accounting. Students are responsible for checking eligibility requirements for any professional licenses such as the Certified Management Accountant Exam (CMA) or Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license. Students who wish to pursue CPA licensure should research their state’s specific licensure requirements on the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, as each state is unique.
