Description
The accounting minor is designed to provide a basic foundation in accounting for students who are interested in being conversant in the language of business. Students with majors outside of the School of Business and Management, such as criminal justice, will find that it gives them a competitive edge with organizations such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation if they have completed a minor in Accounting.
