SIU’s accounting program provides undergraduate accounting program graduates with
the basic understanding of accounting concepts (financial, taxation, auditing, managerial
and accounting information systems) such that they can prepare, analyze and communicate
accounting information.
A flexible curriculum assures that graduates are prepared for the many available career
options including public accounting, corporate accounting, not-for-profit accounting
and other roles in business consulting and finance.
While the SIU undergraduate accounting degree prepares students for accounting careers,
you must typically have completed 150 hours of coursework to sit for the CPA exam
in Illinois and most other states.
Currently, the accounting pathway is a Fall start only.
