Accounting, B.B.A.

Robinson’s undergraduate accounting program is designed to provide the foundation-level technical and analytical knowledge and skills needed to become a professional in the accounting field and to pursue a fifth (graduate) year of accounting study as well as graduate study in law or other business fields.

Accountants today are expected to participate extensively in the general area of business management. The profession of accountancy is becoming increasingly divergent, encompassing areas such as financial and operational auditing, operations research, information systems development and assurance, financial reporting, corporate tax planning, and cost analysis and control.

In recognition of the advisability of acquiring a broadly based education in liberal arts and general business subjects, as well as the necessity of a thorough foundation in the highly specialized and diversified fields of accounting, a person desiring a career in accounting is encouraged to complete the entire professional program of study leading to the Master of Professional Accountancy degree.
