ACBSP Accreditation for Business Logo 364x200

ACBSP Accredited

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP)'s student-centered teaching and learning approach, which is measured and analyzed for quality, ensures that students gain the right skills from their educational investment.

What You'll Learn

The accounting major offers two concentrations. In the public accounting program, get started on the path to certification as a public accountant in New York state. While the completion of the BS degree alone will not make you eligible to become a CPA, completion of this program together with Utica University's MBA in Professional Accounting fulfills New York State's 150-hour requirement, making you eligible to take the uniform CPA exam.

Choose private accounting and develop the skills to plan budgets, analyze costs, prepare financial statements, and more. Leadership, ethics, technological change, and a global perspective are woven into the curriculum by Utica’s award-winning faculty. Learn more about Utica’s accounting faculty here.
