Accounting

The BA in Accounting is an important step in preparing students to become Certified Public Accountants.  Students must pass the CPA exam if they wish to earn licensure. While many states have traditionally required 150 credit hours for CPA licensure, this standard is evolving as some states consider alternative pathways. Many Benedictine College graduates complete 150 total credits by the end of their four years of undergraduate study. Accounting majors work closely with their advisors to design a schedule that supports their academic goals and long-term career aspirations, including preparation for the CPA licensure where applicable.

Program Mission

The mission of the Accounting Program is to develop graduates who add value to an enterprise by applying their knowledge of business and accounting theory and practice, communicating persuasively, and acting with character and compassion. Graduates of the Benedictine College Accounting Program will display an innovative mindset in their approach to analyzing, interpreting, and sharing financial information.
