Accounting

Accounting professor and studentA bachelor of arts degree in accounting is offered through the Saint Martin's University School of Business.

Accounting is a descriptive/analytical discipline that provides quantitative information critical to management decision-making.  The accounting department offers a variety of courses to prepare graduates for responsible positions in private practice, corporate accounting and governmental service.

Because of the University's liberal arts heritage, students majoring in accounting are trained to be well-rounded professionals rather than technicians.  All Saint Martin's students take the University's general education requirements.  Accounting students begin by taking 15 semester hours of foundation courses.  This is followed by 33 semester hours of a common professional component and 21 semester hours of requirements for completion of the major.
