Overview

Students establish qualifications for careers in public accounting, and in industrial, governmental and other positions requiring managerial and analytical skills. The Accountancy concentration from University of North Carolina Wilmington provides an excellent background for graduate and other professional education.

The elements of planning, administration and control covered in the accounting courses are essential to all areas of business. Many of the courses offered benefit students majoring in other fields by furnishing a comprehensive background of business procedures and financial relationships.

Likewise, students in accountancy find it advantageous to concentrate their elective courses in quantitative, analytical, and information technology areas as well as communication and interpersonal skills.

Learning outcomes

A student graduating with an undergraduate degree with a concentration in accountancy is permitted by the NC Board of CPA Examiners to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination. A graduate of the Cameron School of Business who has completed the concentration in accountancy is qualified by the Institute of Management Accounting to write the CMA examination.

However, students should be aware that in most states, including North Carolina, 150 hours of coursework is required to be licensed as a CPA. North Carolina also requires that at least 30 hours of a CPA candidate's coursework be in accounting. Three of the thirty hours may be in business law.
