Professor Goldsmith, Chair
The Accounting program has three primary objectives. First, the program seeks to provide students majoring in Business Administration with the necessary accounting background for making effective managerial decisions. Second, the program seeks to provide accounting majors with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in the accounting profession. Third, as a component of a Christian liberal arts college, the accounting program emphasizes the importance of Christian values and ethics in the practice of accounting.
Accounting majors are able to gain real-world experience if they choose to take ACC 450 .
Students completing the accounting major will be qualified to take the CPA exam in Mississippi. Accounting majors desiring to take the CPA exam in the state of Mississippi should note that that a bachelor’s degree, specific courses, and 120 semester hours of college credit are required as a prerequisite for taking the exam, and 150 hours and a year of experience under the supervision of a licensed CPA are required for CPA licensure.
