Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
Accounting, often called the language of business, teaches the principles and methods by which organizations maintain their record-keeping systems. Accounting explores the cause and effect relationship that various financial events have on every part of the organization and how accounting information impacts day-to-day management decisions.
Students at KU have access to vital internship opportunities that provide real-world experience in the accounting profession. Plus, other experiential opportunities are offered to students through the Kutztown University Accounting Club (KUAC). KUAC is a student-led community that brings together a network of students, alumni, faculty and accounting professionals who are committed to shaping and developing the next generation of public, government, and corporate accountants. The club’s programs and events, such as Meet the Firms Night, Student Night @ the Institute of Management Accountants, or an annual Golf Outing, are both informative and enjoyable.
