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.
