Accounting, as the world's oldest information system, provides information for most government, non-profit, and business decisions. Accounting graduates pursue successful careers in the public or private sectors. The undergraduate program in accounting at Old Dominion University is one of a select group in the country with separate accreditation from AACSB-International. The program provides a broad-based education with a variety of career objectives. The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) accounting concentration provides students with technical accounting knowledge, the ability to analyze problems, communicate solutions, interact with colleagues, and successfully handle ethical issues appropriate for staff-level positions. The program provides, at a minimum, 24 hours of accounting, which is sufficient for a graduate to sit for most accounting professional licensure and certification exams.
