The Bachelor of Science—Accountancy program prepares students for careers in public, corporate, not-for-profit, and governmental accounting. Accounting courses integrate the study of the theory and current practice of accounting with research and computer applications. There are a chapter of Beta Alpha Psi (national honors organization), a student chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants, and the National Association of Black Accountants. All three sponsor career-planning and other co curricular activities.
