The accounting major (no concentration) provides a broad view of accounting. This concentration is ideal for students interested in understanding the language of business, but who are planning to explore entrepreneurial opportunities, are looking for a career in a business' accounting department, or will be double-majoring accounting and another discipline. The accounting major (no concentration) does prepare students for the CPA exam, but not to the extent of the public accounting concentration.
