Overview

All business is being transformed by technology and data. Accounting is a discipline charged with organizing, analyzing, auditing, and communicating the “data” of business. As such, the accountant, auditor, and tax consultant of the present and future must increasingly have a native familiarity with data, a natural facility for consuming and analyzing data, and a ready ability to communicate the lessons from that analysis.

The Accountancy and Data Science program from University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign enables students to combine in-depth knowledge of data with industry and functional expertise.
