Accounting from Drake University is a Campus Bachelor Accountancy degree that prepares you for a Accounting career. PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Drake University School of Accounting is accredited by AACSB International. Approximately 160 of the more than 800 accounting programs in the United States have attained this accreditation; fewer than 10 accounting programs outside the United States are accredited by AACSB International. The School of Accounting provides an education in accounting and business law that prepares graduates to assume entry-level positions in public, private, governmental, and not-for-profit accounting. Its program establishes a foundation for future growth and development for the accounting student. Students learn how to develop, analyze, interpret, and present business data and information that enable effective business decision-making. The curriculum prepares graduates to sit for professional examinations in accounting that lead to such designations as Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.), Certified Management Accountant (C.M.A.), Certified Internal Auditor (C.I.A.) and the Certificate in Financial Management (C.F.M.). Finally, the accounting major is excellent preparation for law school and a legal career. Graduates are prepared to assume responsibilities in a wide range of professional positions and in diverse employment situations. For example, positions are available for graduates as auditors, tax consultants and business consultants in public accounting; in cost control, budgeting, internal auditing, financial reporting and tax planning in industry and the not-for-profit sector; and in government as auditors and financial managers. The Drake undergraduate degree requires 124 credit hours of study; at least 62 of these hours must be taken in subjects other than business. This strong liberal arts foundation differentiates the Drake accounting major, educating the individual, not just the accountant. Students pursuing careers in public accounting and CPA certification will need 150 college credits. The School of Accounting recommends graduate studies to meet these professional certification requirements.
