DANIEL L. GOODWIN COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
Accountants understand numbers and use math to identify opportunities to save and invest money.
An accounting degree from Benedictine prepares students for a wide variety of financial positions in a number of different industries including controller, certified public accountant, internal auditor and corporate financial analyst. They learn the fundamentals of the economic system and gain a solid understanding of financial and managerial accounting, cost accounting, taxation, auditing and ethics. Benedictine accounting majors have held internships at local and regional accounting firms, tax preparation companies, government agencies, health care companies, logistics businesses, and the FBI. These internship opportunities allow students to work with accounting systems in a variety of applications, providing valuable skills that are highly sought after by employers.
Goodwin College of Business students have real-world experiences incorporated into their curricula. For example, accounting students can take a service-learning course built around the IRS’s volunteer income tax assistance program.
The Accounting Club gives members the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge to real-world situations in preparation for their future careers.
Our undergraduate accounting major creates a solid foundation for students who are planning to take the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exams. Our 4+1 programs allow students to acquire the 150 credit hours needed to sit for the CPA exam while simultaneously working toward an advanced degree.
