It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

The ability to conduct proper accounting is an important aspect for business, individuals, non-profit organizations, and governments. A business administration degree with a minor in accounting may allow students to learn the rigors of business while getting special exposure to accounting principles and practices. Students should learn how to properly record financial data for examination and tax preparation as well as to properly understand the health of a business and its profitability. Learning the proper elements of finance and accounting along with typical business decision-making techniques may enable students an even better perspective from which to understand business and the choices that can be made.

Graduates of the business administration with a minor in accounting program may be particularly well-suited to take on accounting roles within organizations or as an independent business. Graduates will need to obtain the proper licensure to act as accountants, which often involves the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examinations and process. Business management is another great opportunity for graduates, as the extra education in accounting will lead to even more sound financial decisions than education lacking it would allow. Accountants may also make good managers in non-business roles, working for the government or for non-profit organizations. Graduates may also excel as financial analysts, adept at understanding financial statements and information.
