WELCOME TO

THE DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING

Marquette University’s distinguished accounting curriculum is one of two AASCB accredited programs in Wisconsin. The mission of the Department of Accounting in the College of Business Administration is to prepare students to be responsible, competent and ethical leaders in accounting, business, government and not-for-profit careers. Marquette’s undergraduate degree in accounting builds upon the liberal arts requirements by emphasizing oral and written Straz communication skills, ethical behavior, analytical reasoning, computer competency, and technical knowledge sufficient for attaining a relevant accounting profession. The Master of Science in Accounting (MSA) degree focuses on: (1) enhancing the student’s knowledge in finance, management, and specific accounting areas, (2) preparing the student for professional examinations (e.g., CPA, CMA, CIA, CPFO) and (3) qualifying students for positions in public, corporate, or government/not-for-profit accounting.

The Department of Accounting emphasizes leadership and service through the internship program and activities of our student chapter of Beta Alpha Psi. Students can meet the 150 hour requirement for certification either through the undergraduate degree (with 150 credit hours), the MSA, or the Master of Business Administration (including courses needed to qualify for the CPA examination).
