Overview

Graduates of the Accounting degree at University of the Potomac need a much more broad based math skill set with less theoretical than most would expect. With the exception of some of the higher accounting degrees, it will be your basic math skills and algebra that will help you most. So don’t shy away from an accounting degree because you think you needed to be an A student in calc, trig or geometry. If you generally enjoy the more practical math classes and it makes sense to you. You should be fine.
