Accountants are business professionals who work with people to identify, analyze, and solve business problems. Completing an accounting option opens the door to a wide range of career opportunities.
 

  • The accounting option is designed to help students develop the necessary technical expertise and broad-based business knowledge required for long-term success in careers such as auditing/assurance, tax consulting, corporate accounting/finance, not-for-profit/government, financial analysis/venture capital, and financial planning.
     
  • Students planning to pursue CPA certification or advanced financial positions should also complete the Master of Professional Accountancy program.
     
  • MSU accounting graduates are sought after because they have strong work ethics and typically pass the CPA exam at rates above the national average.

  • MSU business students also consistently rank above the 90th percentile in the nation on the Major Field Test for Business. Small classes taught by highly skilled faculty give MSU accounting students a very competitive edge.
