MISSION:

Today’s accounting majors are expected not only to provide auditing, accounting, and tax services for small and large companies, but also to provide services in forecasting, financial planning and evaluation, and the creation and monitoring of new technologies.

The accounting program at Marist College provides a high-quality, professional education in a supportive, interactive, and personalized learning environment. The program is designed to prepare accounting graduates for sensitive management positions in business and industry, public accounting, governmental and not-for-profit organizations. Professional opportunities include careers in public accounting as a certified public accountant (CPA), management accounting, and internal auditing. The Marist Bachelor of Science in Accounting also serves as a sound educational base for post-baccalaureate study in business and law.

To respond to the educational requirement to be licensed as a CPA, the School of Management established a Dual Degree program for Marist accounting students that enables them to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Master of Science in Professional Accountancy to meet the 150 credit hours educational requirement.
