Overview
APU’s accounting major prepares students for financially sound decision-making. Beginning coursework provides a solid business foundation, covering accounting principles, business law, international business, finance, economics, statistics, and marketing. Advanced coursework introduces strategic management, decision-making, and organizational behavior. These then serve as a framework for in-depth study of accounting principles for long-range planning, managerial accounting concepts, cost accounting, federal taxes, and auditing.
Accounting majors leave APU equipped to pinpoint a company or individual’s financial situation and make good decisions as a result.
