Accounting

An accountant manages the bottom line for businesses, from multinational corporations to fast-growing startups and nonprofits. With an accounting degree, the path to a business career is wide open.

The B.S. in Accounting program qualifies our students for starting positions across all business sectors, and prepares students to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination.

At Kean, our students benefit from access to internships at top companies in New York City and New Jersey. They're prepared to climb the corporate ladder or start their own business. Ambition is their guide.
