Accounting
Accounting professionals oversee financial records and manage the bottom line for businesses, from multinational corporations and nonprofits to fast-growing startups. An accounting degree provides a strong foundation for many careers in business and accounting graduates are in demand.
At Kean, accounting majors build expertise in financial regulations and reporting practices. They land internships with Fortune 500 corporations, midsize companies and many small and entrepreneurial enterprises.
The B.S. in Accounting program qualifies our students for starting positions across all business sectors and prepares students to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam.
