Academic Departments

Accounting, Economics, and Finance Department

The Department of Accounting, Economics and Finance prepares students for a variety of professional opportunities. Departmental emphasis on quality instruction assures that students are exposed to the most up-to-date material and instructional techniques.

Secondary teacher certification in economics as part of the Social Studies composite is also offered through the Division of Education in conjunction with our department. 

The study of accounting and finance leads exclusively to business-oriented degrees. In economics, students may pursue either social sciences or business degrees.  The Department provides an opportunity for students to meet the educational requirements for the Certified Public Accountant designation and information regarding qualification for other professional designations.

The department offers a variety of scholarships at the undergraduate level and graduate assistantships at the post-graduate level. Students are encouraged to apply for these awards.

The department supports an internship program for students majoring in any field within the department. The intern program combines classroom study with a planned program of related work experience with industry or government agencies. The program provides students an opportunity to earn a portion of their college expenses while gaining work experience which enhances their academic studies. The internship program could extend the time necessary to complete the degree.
