The accounting program curriculum is tailored to address the demands confronted by today's professional accountant.
To prepare for a BSBA in accounting, students take a combination of specialized business classes and round them out with general education courses.
A minor in accounting provides students in disciplines outside of the Zeigler College of Business with a broad background in accounting and its functional areas. The minor is designed so students can have the background necessary to apply their major discipline in the business environment. The minor consists of 18 semester hours, 12 of which must be taken at Bloomsburg University.
The Minor in Fraud Examination is an interdisciplinary program designed to help students develop the tools necessary for a career in the fraud examination field. The Minor includes classes in Criminal Justice, Computer Forensics, Fraud Investigation, Fraud Examination, and Legal Aspects.
Our graduates work in public accounting, internal audit, industry, and government. A number of our graduates have completed the Certified Fraud Examiner exam.
The minor in legal studies promotes the interdisciplinary study of law, enabling undergraduate students in any major to understand and make use of the diverse perspectives on law and the legal system in our complex and rapidly changing society. Legal studies enable graduates to become more effective citizens and participate in the shaping and application of law in the United States and around the world. It enhances the ability of graduates to integrate legal and other methodologies in gathering and evaluating data, making effective arguments, reaching consensus and solving the problems of the future.
The minor recognizes and capitalizes upon the contributions of faculty at Bloomsburg whose teaching and scholarship addresses topics in law and the humanities and social sciences and the impact of law on business, education and society. Faculty in English, philosophy, political science, geography and earth science and finance and business law serve on the interdisciplinary advisory board.
