Course Overview

Accountants are multidisciplinary professionals. They are responsible for determining an organization's overall wealth, profitability, and liquidity. Without accounting, organizations would have no foundation upon which daily and long-term business decisions could be made.

Our accounting bachelor’s degree covers financial and managerial accounting disciplines while introducing you to the technology needed for the profession. Leveraging the strength of our nationally ranked management information systems (MIS) program (#6, College Factual), you’ll gain the technical skills needed to design, operate, and control accounting information systems–skills that are highly sought after by employers. As one of the oldest and most respected professions in the world, a degree in accounting can lead to an exciting and rewarding career in one of the most essential lines of work in the business world.

RIT’s accounting major covers financial and managerial accounting disciplines while introducing students to technology, including accounting information systems while gaining exposure to the liberal arts, sciences, and management. Students planning a career in public accounting may select undergraduate course work preparing them to enter RIT’s MBA accounting program. Completion of both the accounting BS and the MBA-accounting degrees satisfies the New York state CPA education requirements (see electives). Some accounting majors may choose to tailor the program to meet diverse career opportunities in the commercial, government, and not-for-profit sectors.

Students planning to pursue an MBA accounting degree and a career in public accounting should consult an accounting professor or accounting academic advisor.
