Specializations

Accounting
The specialization in accounting develops a strong base of business knowledge while building the accounting skills that can be of value in many industries. The coursework prepares the student for entry to graduate school in accounting and provides 120 credit hours of the 150 credit hours required to sit for the C.P.A. exam. Coursework includes the study of financial accounting, managerial accounting, taxation, auditing, and accounting software along with a general business and general education requirements. -
Finance
The specialization in finance allows students to focus on how individuals and businesses make financial decisions and manage money. Students acquire knowledge about how firms make financial decisions, acquire and allocate funds, and how markets operate. A strong emphasis is placed on spreadsheet utilization and design. Careers in finance demand analysis and attention to detail and include positions in corporate finance, banking, and investments. -
Marketing
The specialization in marketing develops a competitive advantage through courses that offer firsthand, practical experience shaping the advertising, promotion, and sales strategy of real-world products while developing a solid understanding of business concepts. Many students who concentrate in marketing go on to work in brand management, sales, marketing research, consulting, and entrepreneurial ventures.

Internship Spotlight: Matthew Armstrong ’21
Intern at Engel & Völkers
“I had a small amount of real estate experience and a small amount of spare time, so I put on a suit and went to five or six real estate offices to ask if they needed some help. As an afterthought, I went to a new firm in the area, thinking ‘what do I have to lose?’”
Armstrong got the internship—and ended up running the entire marketing department. Read more>>
