The field of accounting provides fascinating insight into the business enterprise. It delves deep inside an organization’s financial infrastructure. Just as important, the practice of accounting offers the chance to make a difference within a business.

La Salle’s Accounting program is designed to help students succeed within this vital discipline. It’s the ideal major for anyone hoping to pursue a CPA, looking to open a consultancy, or contemplating a career in auditing, regulation, or budget analysis.

Here’s why our program is a top choice for firms looking to hire:

We recognize that, if students are to take full advantage of the opportunities ahead, they’ll need expert business knowledge and the broad perspectives cultivated by the liberal arts.
Students will not have to wait until their junior year to take business courses. They’ll plunge into the business curriculum as early as freshman year. By sophomore year, they’ll be ready for courses in the major.
Would-be CPAs can meet the 150-credit requirement through our four-year B.S./MBA program. An advisor will help students design a curriculum that serves their needs.
Our professors focus on teaching and mentoring. They not only take the time to learn every student’s name, they also strive to understand each individual’s hopes and dreams.
Because our professors partner with area businesses, they’re savvy about the challenges and innovations at play in the marketplace. Our graduates leave La Salle ready to perform.
Our paid co-op program with companies and government agencies provides valuable professional experience that is critical for the new graduate’s resume.
La Salle’s Accounting alumni are respected throughout the country—in fact, the partners at many regional firms are alumni of our program. Employers trust our students to solve problems, identify opportunities, think critically, and behave ethically.
