Each student takes courses in management, marketing, finance, business law and management information systems. The field experience requirement gives students the opportunity for “hands-on” experience applying what has been learned in the classroom to real business situations. Students frequently receive job offers through these internships. Credits for work/life experience can also be earned by students who have had appropriate previous experience in related areas.

An in-depth coverage of corporate securities, income tax and cash flow is included. Other topics reviewed include the accounting cycle-journal entry preparation and posting and elements of the balance sheet. Finally, financial statements will be analyzed through various analytical procedures. Computer applications included.
