Few fields can take you as far or give you as many career choices as the field of business. Students who choose to study Business Administration within the School of Business have the option of concentrating in accounting, marketing, or management.

In today's business environment, stricter accounting and auditing regulations make job prospects plentiful for individuals with a background in accounting.
