AccountingBachelor of Science/Master of ScienceDo you have a talent for working with facts and figures?Medaille’s dual degree in Accounting prepares students for successful careers in public or private accounting and business. By combining a four-year undergraduate bachelor’s degree with an additional year of graduate courses, students will meet New York State Education Department requirements to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exams.

Each student takes courses in management, marketing, finance, business law and management information systems. The field experience requirement gives students the opportunity for “hands-on” experience applying what has been learned in the classroom to real business situations. Students frequently receive job offers through these internships. Credits for work/life experience can also be earned by students who have had appropriate previous experience in related areas.

The ability to communicate well is essential in the accounting profession. The liberal arts and sciences portion of the degree provides those necessary skills as well as a solid foundation in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics and science.

“Within our current economic climate, many individuals and businesses have been looking to start new business ventures. As the growth of start-ups continue to rise, the need for businesses to either contact the services of an accountant or to hire one on staff have increased. Medaille’s program offers students an opportunity to join this growing industry.”
