Overview

Key Features

Accounting is one of the most sought-after professions in the world of business and finance.

Careers in accounting include being an auditor, management accountant, financial accountant, tax accountant, budget analyst, public accountant, and working in the government sector.

We have an exclusive partnership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW) to provide a Certificate in Finance, Accounting, and Business (CFAB). In fact, our students can earn the CFAB qualification by passing just one exam because our accounting major program provides them with exemptions from five of the six ICAEW modules.

Upon the completion of their Business Administration - Accounting program at American University of Sharjah (AUS), the students:

gain a foundation in the primary areas of the accounting discipline
develop their communication skills, integrate and advance their technological skills
critical thinking skills to analyze ambiguous situations and provide relevant business alternatives
are able to obtain professional certificates such as Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA) and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA)
