Our curriculum prepares students for a number of applicable careers with a real-world focus on learning and the course experience. Our faculty and staff are always interested in meeting new and potential accounting majors.
What is Accounting?
Proper analysis is key to the success of any business and is utilized in many forms. While some fields may analyze consumer behavior, human resources, or quality control in a business, accounting involves the recording, reporting, and analysis of financial transactions. From running a lemonade stand to running a globally-operating corporation, understanding core accounting principles is essential to the success of any business.
What Careers do Accounting Students Enter?
Students graduating with a Accounting degree from La Sierra University are in high demand in the workplace due to the great versatility of experience in accounting. Many accounting graduates select management and financial-related occupations as accountants, auditors, budget analysts, actuaries, loan officers, or financial analysts.
There are, however, many other applications for accounting in areas you may not expect. For example, did you know that there are only five entry programs at the FBI to become a Special Agent? The first is in accounting.
For the most current occupational information regarding accounting and other careers, including required education and median salary amounts, we recommend you visit O*NET OnLine, a very useful website created for the U.S. Department of Labor.
