If you are considering a career in business, becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) will allow you to be a star player on any business team. Because CPAs understand the nuts-and-bolts of finance, their expertise is valued everywhere, from high technology companies to the music industry to the fast-paced world of electronic commerce. The CPA designation is a stepping stone to whatever business career you can imagine. Did you know that the chairmen of several Fortune 500 companies, including Nike (Phil Knight), Home Depot (Arthur Blank), and UNISYS (Lawrence Weinbach) are CPAs?
At Mesa State College, our goal is to provide the foundation for our graduates to have a successful career as a professional accountant. We provide several ways in which you can focus your accounting education. The bachelor of science degree in accounting has concentration areas in public accounting and information technology. We also offer a combined 5 year program which will allow you to graduate with a public accounting baccalaureate degree and an MBA. This is especially attractive with the national movement toward the 150 hour education requirement. Opportunities for cooperative education supplement the classroom with actual work environment experiences.
