ACCOUNTING

Program Description

King’s accounting majors learn the skills necessary for success in a dynamic global business environment. Built upon the King’s College innovative student learning assessment program, competency based course content focus learning upon the liberal learning and technical competencies which accounting professionals use as part of their contribution to the success of the business enterprise.

Curriculum
The college core curriculum, business foundation courses and major courses emphasize an awareness of personal values, character development, and an understanding of liberal learning competencies applied in a business context, such as communication, analytical thinking, team building, and strategic planning.

Accounting majors are encouraged to sample widely in their selection of Core courses and from the elective offerings of the other divisions of the College with the conviction that an effective foundation for life-long learning and continuing professional development, in any career, is built upon the idea and ideals of a liberal education. The emphasis on early interaction in engaging students to focus on the career development and planning process allows students the time and opportunity to: explore career options; identify academic majors and academic minors that fit their interest’s values and abilities; engage in resume building experiences; and develop effective employment search skills which will result in successful placement upon graduation. The curriculum in accounting provide the technical preparation for students who later may want to qualify as Certified Public Accountants (CPA’s), Certified Management Accountants (CMA’s) or Certified Internal Auditors (CIA’s).
