Explore the relationship between business decisions and the bottom line.
When you understand accounting, you understand how business works. Kelley’s accounting curriculum explores the relationship between business decisions and the bottom line. After completing our challenging courses, working on team projects, bolstering their communication skills, and completing an internship or field experience, our students are prepared for a variety of careers.
Accounting professionals are constantly adapting to new laws and using ever-improving technology to interpret numbers, tackle complex problems, and predict what the future holds. One thing doesn’t change: accounting knowledge is always in demand. Accounting was recently named one of the 10 “most profitable” college majors for its numerous job opportunities and high starting salaries.
We invite you to learn more about our undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degree programs. Explore our site, and feel free to contact us or our faculty with any questions.
