Overview

Key facts

You can prepare for a traditional role of CPA or auditor, or use your Accounting degree from Pennsylvania State University as a foundation in fraud detection, forensic investigation, financial services, law, underwriting or actuarial science, and more.

You’ll learn in the Black School of Business, which integrates training in accounting alongside core business functions like management information systems and finance.
And you’ll be taught by experienced faculty in small classes—meaning your professors will know you and your goals.

You’ll also have plenty of real-world experience—through projects working with partners in the community, internships, or undergraduate research projects.
Accounting students also have the opportunity to show their research at professional meetings and conferences.
