Accounting, Bachelor of Science

ACCT.BS @17/18

The accounting major provides a career-oriented educational opportunity with a firm foundation in the liberal arts and a current body of knowledge in business and economics. This major offers the necessary preparation for a wide range of business and accounting environments, or for admission into graduate school.

Keuka College’s accounting program has an articulation agreement with the masters in accounting programs at SUNY Geneseo and Syracuse University, the CPA track MBA program at SUNY Oswego, and the MBA accounting programs at Clarkson University, Niagara University, RIT, and St. John Fisher, which are all registered by the New York State Department of Education as licensure-qualifying. Similar agreements with other graduate programs are being planned. Graduates of these programs meet the educational requirements for admission to the public accountancy licensing examination.
