Professionals with accounting backgrounds are indispensable to most organizations. They serve as auditors, financial analysts, pricing and yield managers, controllers, comptrollers, payroll specialists, management consultants, investment bankers, bookkeepers, budget managers, chief financial officers, procurement officers, merger and acquisition specialists, and billing managers. Many accountants go on to become certified public accountants, a special certification that demonstrates their competence. 

Accounting students at FVSU can earn a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a major in accounting. Students take courses including financial, managerial, cost, and intermediate accounting, taxation, auditing, fraud examination, and accounting information systems.
