Bachelor [Accounting] From Valdosta State University

Accounting summarizes, analyzes and reports financial transactions. The financial reporting communicates the company?s operations, financial position and cash flows (via audited financial statements) to external users/stakeholders (investors, government, lenders, etc.). In contrast, managerial reporting is used within the business organization (management and cost accounting) to make informed operational decisions. The majors develop communication, problem-solving and interpersonal skills. Students work with technology, receive a broad business foundation, and an intensive education in the accounting discipline. The curriculum prepares students for the CPA license and other accounting certifications (e.g., CMA, CIA, etc.).
