Business Administration Division
Bachelor of Science in Accounting
Overview
The Accounting Program consists of an intensive four-year major that prepares students for careers in public accounting and industry, and minors that provide both business and non-business majors with backgrounds in either financial or managerial accounting. The program emphasizes critical thinking and analysis and incorporates real-world examples and projects throughout the program.
The program size encourages extensive interaction among students and faculty through coursework, career-oriented events, and social events sponsored by the Pepperdine Accounting Society. In addition, Accounting students have many opportunities to meet with leaders in the field and to learn about the profession through discussions with alumni and others.
Pepperdine Accounting majors have competed successfully for regional and national scholarships and have accepted internships and full-time employment with major international public accounting firms, leading companies in industry, and local and national governmental bodies. In addition, many of our students have gone on to prestigious graduate business and law schools.
