It facilitates informed judgments and decisions through the process of analyzing, measuring, and communicating economic activities. Students at Niagara University learn this language from a distinctive group of faculty made up of seasoned professionals who possess extensive industry and teaching experience. Accounting students at NU have the advantage of earning a degree from an AACSB-accredited institution, the global benchmark of excellence in business and accounting education. An optional 4+1 program accelerates the timeline for adding an MBA or M.S. in finance to your resume and provides the coursework required to sit for the CPA exam.
A Cutting-Edge Curriculum Niagara University prepares students for successful accounting careers in a variety of industries, such as corporate, public accounting, forensics, and nonprofit. Small interactive classes provide an engaging learning environment among peers and professors.
