Overview

The Department of Accounting and Finance prepares graduates for successful careers in the financial services industry. The department offers two majors: accounting and finance. Students will have the opportunity to excel in a strong area of study leading to a degree that directly impacts a business’s success. Accounting and finance are interrelated fields that measure, analyze and evaluate the performance of an organization. The function of these two majors is complementary as accountants and financial analysts work closely together in both corporate and non-corporate settings. Faculty are dedicated to providing a high-quality educational experience, enhanced by research and professional interaction. Citadel alumni have achieved distinguished careers in accounting and finance, blending their academic work with the core values and principles of the institution.
