A career in accounting appeals to students with wide-ranging interests and good communication skills. Ultimately, accounting is about information. Sound management of financial resources can capture not only how a person or organization is doing, but also where they are going. This information is crucial for decision-making in business, government and also for personal finances. Learn how to prepare financial and related information, and how to interpret what it means.

World-class faculty with professional experience combine with excellent scholarship opportunities and co-op options to make the Sobey School of Business the right choice to prepare students for a successful career as accounting professionals.
