BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ACCOUNTING
Accounting majors at Hilbert develop a diverse set of skills, including technical competence, critical thinking and ethical awareness.
In the classroom, students are exposed to accounting principles, accounting practice sets, computer-based activities, and tax-related work. Outside of the classroom, students may put that knowledge to use, earn academic credit, and gain invaluable hands-on experience by participating in one of a number of internship opportunities.
In addition, Hilbert’s Student Business and Accounting Association provides peer support, mentoring, and on-site learning visits to local businesses and organizations.
The Accounting program requires students to complete 45 credits of upper-level courses.
