Overview

Accounting from University of Wisconsin - Whitewater is designed to prepare its majors to begin a career in various parts of the profession — public accounting, corporate accounting, not-for-profit and government accounting. Beyond the principles of accounting, students gain knowledge of tax law, financial and managerial accounting, cost management, auditing, accounting information systems and advanced applications of technology such as data analysis and visualization programs.

Accounting graduates can be licensed as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with a satisfactory performance on the CPA exam and completion of 150 credit hours. Many graduates of the BBA in Accounting program continue on in the one-year Master of Professional Accountancy program to meet the credit requirements for CPA licensure, specialize in one of four focus areas, and enhance their future career options. Students can also complete a 150-credit BBA with majors in accounting and another business discipline. A 120-credit non-CPA BBA in Accounting is also available.

The College of Business and Economics offers a rich breadth of co-curricular activities to enhance student development and learning outcomes, including award-winning student organizations and applied learning experiences through internships and the UW-Whitewater Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program. These efforts, as well as the college's outstanding reputation for its accounting program, have resulted in a 100 percent placement rate for accounting majors within six months of graduation.
