Department of Accounting: Undergraduate

Understanding accounting provides users—managers, investors, lenders, and other stakeholders—with the financial insights needed to tackle complex business challenges and make sound decisions. Accountants are natural problem-solvers, who not only analyze data and offer solutions but also communicate critical information that helps individuals and companies achieve their financial goals and drive progress. Accounting graduates who meet the requirements of the State Board of Public Accountancy of Indiana are eligible to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination in Indiana.
