The department’s goals
are based on a concept
that emphasizes not only
technical competence but
also the ethics of
professional service,
thus seeking to foster
sensitivity and
responsiveness to social
responsibilities as well
as the ability to
identify and pursue
personal opportunities.
The faculty endeavors to
achieve these goals
through a variety of
teaching
techniques-lectures,
cases, role-playing,
seminars, directed
study, internships and
computer team
simulations. The
department arranges and
supervises internships
(i.e., actual job
situations) in all
majors for qualified
juniors and seniors.
The
accounting major is
designed to prepare
students for careers as
professional accountants
in public, private,
governmental and
not-for-profit
organizations. The
program builds on a
foundation of liberal
arts courses and
provides the educational
background to become a
Certified Public
Accountant or to attain
other appropriate
professional
certification. This
design seeks to insure
that the student attains
a broad perspective
which is a requisite to
success both as a
professional accountant
and as a top-level
financial or business
executive.
