Online Accounting With Law Degree :: Accredited Universities

The Sullivan University School of Accountancy incorporates a unique blend of accounting, business, information technology and general education requirements within the curriculum. This emphasis is reflected with real-world and computer applications in every course. Additionally, The School of Accountancy has a strategic goal of preparing every accounting graduate for completion of an accounting certification, such as the CMA and/or CPA.

This program would appeal to you if you like numbers and basic mathematics and mathematical relationships. In addition, this program will appeal to you if you are organized, analytical, attentive to detail, and able to work and communicate with others. At the bachelor’s level, greater understanding of accounting techniques and the ability to solve various financial and management issues are required.

The accounting skills taught range from recording basic journal entries to financial statement preparation and analysis. Accounting students will learn:

- How to record business transactions using General Ledger Computer Software

- About payroll with a simulation model both as a manual system and a computerized system

- How to use a “Practice Set” that provides a full understanding of the accounting cycle from initial entries through financial statement preparation

- How to design an accounting system

- Tax law through preparation of true-to-life tax returns for individuals and corporations

Accounting students will also integrate textbook learning with industry practices and issues through various research projects and papers.

And finally, the accounting major will experience a capstone business policy project where the accountant interacts with other team members from various disciplines in monitoring their own company, making business decisions, and evaluating those results. The skills learned and experienced within this program will help provide the knowledge necessary for you to sit for the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam.
