Description
The Accounting curriculum at Bentley enables students to develop an understanding of accounting principles and their application to management situations. Accounting majors at Bentley focus on auditing, cost accounting, tax, financial accounting, and the use of information technology in accounting functions. All Accounting majors acquire a core technical knowledge, including training in computer applications, so that they may understand the design, implementation, and review of a fully automated accounting system. An internship, which students are eligible to find on their own, offers qualified students the opportunity to earn academic credit while gaining valuable work experience that can lead to greater job opportunities.
