Accounting

Accounting is the universal language of business, spoken around the world by business and government leaders, investors, analysts, and others seeking to measure, understand, and apply the dynamics of financial success. Today, more than ever, businesses need Iowa State accountant grads who understand financial data to help guide their organizations through changing accounting regulations and tight economic times.

The Iowa State Accounting major prepares students to analyze, synthesize and report data so others can use it to make informed decisions. The Accounting degree helps students pursue diverse careers in business and accounting including auditing, consulting, public accounting, budgeting, and forecasting.
