The mission of the Accounting Department is to provide and maintain an effective undergraduate curriculum that will prepare graduating students to enter a complex and constantly changing profession. The focus is to teach students to develop an understanding of accounting principles and practices, legal and ethical concepts that are required of them to compete effectively and ethically as practicing professional accountants.
Students graduating with a major in the Accounting Department must achieve a cumulative 2.0 grade point average in their business division courses.
The Department also offers a minor in Accounting. A minor in Accounting at the Mount provides the student with the technical skills necessary to pursue a career in accounting or, alternatively, to allow the student to understand the importance of accounting in managing a business. Emphasis also is placed on developing interpersonal skills, fine tuning analytical abilities and increasing understanding of ethics in the business environment.
