Department of Accounting

Overview

Accounting is the language of business and is an increasingly complex subject matter. Majors offer technical accounting knowledge in taxation and professional accounting that lead to enriching careers in private, public and nonprofit sectors.

To study accounting is to study information systems and controls, financial reporting, analysis, taxation, decision-making, and managing technology, developing business plans, and formulating business strategy.

Individuals who like being challenged by a variety of situations and technologies and who enjoy identifying, analyzing, and solving problems are well-suited to majoring in accounting.

Reasons To Study Accounting

Notice

The MS Accounting, MS Taxation and MPA programs are designed to meet the educational requirements of the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy (TSBPA) as part of the licensing requirements for certified public accountants. These programs may also satisfy the educational requirements in other states. However, some of these states may have additional requirements that are not met by UTA’s programs. Please note that the TSBPA makes the final determination of courses that count toward CPA exam eligibility, so check with the TSBPA for updated rules and to confirm your eligibility through the Application of Intent process. It is essential that students in these programs meet with the graduate advisor for these programs to ensure that their program of work meets all the educational requirements of TSBPA and to plan their courses taking into account their own educational background.
