Why a BS degree in accounting?
A bachelor’s degree in accounting gives you the credentials you need to advance in the field. You are able to take the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam in Minnesota and earn this highly desirable certification. You will also be eligible to take the CMA exam (Certified Management Accountant). With either of these credentials, you will have more than an accounting degree. You will be an effective communicator, a team player and an employee with critical thinking skills. And because of your certification, employers will know this. Students are encouraged to apply for the Professional Certification Scholarship to defray the costs of certification exams.
