If you’re looking forward to preparing for a career in business, chances are you’re comparing different degree programs to determine which could offer you the best career potential.
You might be asking yourself: What are the potential benefits of earning an accounting degree compared to other business administration concentrations? Is an accounting degree worth it in terms of career and earning potential?
Coursework in an accounting degree program should cover specific skills like the principles, practices and procedures used by accountants, as well as the logic and reasoning that is so elemental to the profession. At DeVry, coursework in our Accounting Bachelor’s Degree, for example, includes:
1Credits and degrees earned from this institution do not automatically qualify the holder to participate in professional licensing exams to practice certain professions. Persons interested in practicing a regulated profession must contact the appropriate state regulatory agency for their field of interest. For instance, typically 150 credit hours or education are required to meet state regulatory agency education requirements for CPA licensure. Coursework may qualify for credit towards the State Board of Accountancy requirements. However, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the state board of accountancy for the jurisdiction in which they are applying to determine whether they have completed the appropriate credit hours and coursework to qualify to take the CPA exam. Employees of DeVry University and its Keller Graduate School of Management are not in a position to determine an individual’s eligibility to take the CPA exam or satisfy licensing.
