Overview

Here’s what makes the Mount Saint Mary College's Accounting major unique:

Focus on communication: As an accountant, you have to explain financial and mathematical concepts to those who don’t “get it.” At the Mount, you’ll learn not only learn the fundamentals of accounting; we'll also teach you how to communicate it to others.
MBA pairing: Save money and time with our 4+1 Year Accounting BS / MBA combo. Learn from professors with years of professional experience in the field while preparing to sit for the CPA exam following graduation to become an accountant.
Sports Management concentration: Specialize your degree further with a concentration in Sports Management, preparing you to focus on accounting practices within sports facilities.
Accountants and professors: Our faculty are real accountants who are members of the New York State Society of CPAs, bring accounting colleagues to classes for real-world perspectives, and are super passionate about this subject. Learning from accountants who also teach means they actually know what it’s like and can show you what you really need to know.
