Overview

About Accounting at Saint Ambrose University

As an Accounting major at Saint Ambrose University, you will learn U.S. and international accounting standards and be able to plan, coordinate, and control the financial activities of businesses at a bottom-line level.

Internships in your junior or senior year will place you directly in the business world, where you apply what you've learned. The Quad Cities supports many world-class accounting firms and companies including Deloitte, RSM, Modern Woodmen, and HNI (HON). Our students have grown their skills as interns at Deere & Company's worldwide headquarters and been hired for its elite career development program.

What's more is that at SAU, you get an education based in the Liberal Arts, and your general education courses help you develop strong inquiry, communication, and writing skills – something employers tell us they love about our student interns and graduates.

Careers

Accountants can specialize in public accounting, perform tax audits, and conduct tax planning for CPA firms. You can work for corporations such as Deere & Company doing cost, financial, or international accounting or internal auditing. Working for local, state, or federal government entities also are options.

Some accountants use their expertise in nonprofit agencies such as United Way or Red Cross, or they work as a tax specialist, forensic accountant, controller, chief financial officer, financial planner, or international accountant.

We have the resources to prepare you for life after college. Our Career Center will help you create a résumé, write a cover letter, offer tips on how to have a successful interview, and more. If you are determined to go to grad school, the center can help you with the application and prepare you for the interview.
