Accounting

As an accounting major, you'll not only learn the ins and outs of the industry, but you'll take advanced accounting courses that are required by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy (TSBPA) in order to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam.

Whether you’re talking to investors or managers, as an accountant, you’ll hold the keys to the market economy’s financial system. And you’ll be in high demand, too – reports expect the field to grow faster than most other professions.

A career in this field has specific eligibility standards to sit for a licensing exam. Before you start your degree, read our ineligibility policy.
