Accounting Minor

About the Minor

The Accounting minor offers an opportunity for students who would like to equip themselves with better training and understanding of the “language” of business and management. A minor in Accounting helps students with a non-business background to be better prepared for today’s fast-changing careers. It may be especially useful for those STEM students who are interested in business consulting and auditing/taxation data analytics.
