Accounting - Brigham Young University - Provo

Accounting from Brigham Young University - Provo is a Campus Bachelor Accountancy degree that prepares you for a Accounting career. Program Purpose The mission of the Bachelor of Science in Accounting is to provide students with a strong background in accounting as a basis for a career in any business field and to cultivate a passion for life-long learning founded on the values of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The core values of the program are: 1. Student focus - We view students as our primary customers and our partners in learning. 2. Product leadership - We identify our product as the education process experienced by our students and measure the quality of our product by the skill, professionalism, and character of our alumni. Hence we strive to be known as product leaders by graduating the best students. Being product leaders means that we are constantly innovating and continuously improving the learning process, that we exhibit creativity in teaching and pedagogical approaches, that we constantly develop and improve our competencies and skills, and that we strive to attract the best and brightest students into our programs. Product leadership requires that faculty be active in academic and professional organizations in order to be exposed to the latest developments in our fields. 3. Stakeholder connectivity - We cultivate long-term relationships with key stakeholders, especially recruiters. Rather than pursuing one-time transactions, our goal is to understand and fill stakeholder needs better than our peer institutions. By virtue of this close relationship with, and ultimate knowledge of, key stakeholders, we build partnerships that are mutually beneficial to both the program and our stakeholders. 4. Leadership development - We produce graduates who will become leaders in their homes, churches, communities, and organizations. These leaders are developed by providing classroom experiences that: (1) integrate the Gospel of Jesus Christ with secular learning, (2) focus on skill development as well as knowledge transmission, (3) provide a global perspective, (4) use the latest proven technology, and (5) demonstrate and develop ethical values and behavior.
