Accounting Major

Accountants provide accurate, transparent, and understandable financial information and advice to managers and investors—from financial budgeting to IRS enforcement to auditing and beyond. Gain advanced knowledge and skills to help solve real problems for real organizations in any industry.

Get experience on the trading floor or in Silicon Valley. Pitch inventions and launch startups. Add a concentration in Data Analytics. Assist local families and fellow students with income tax returns through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. Develop a business from the ground up through Husky Innovate. Lead a student organization such as Entrepreneurs Club or Kappa Sigma Iota (Michigan Tech's accounting and finance group). Plus, learn from world-class faculty in small classes—you'll get to know your professors on a first-name basis.

Study accounting in an environment infused with science, technology, engineering, and math. By earning an accounting degree that's steeped in STEM (and AACSB accredited), you'll stand out to employers who are looking for the kinds of tech-savvy business leaders tomorrow needs. Michigan Tech graduates work for top companies including Deloitte, Ernst & Young, and Fortune 500 management teams. Want to accelerate your career? You can do that, too. Earn a master's in one additional year through our Accelerated Master's program.

"I love the accounting community, first of all, everyone I've met in accounting has been amazing... I'm always doing the most. I love being a Husky."Jim Brisson, BS Accounting
