Walden University

Bachelor of Science in Accounting

In today's increasingly complex and diverse business world, accounting professionals need a broad knowledge of accounting combined with technical and functional expertise. Walden's B.S. in Accounting program is designed to give you a strong foundation in accounting—both in theory and practical application—to help prepare you to advance your career and contribute to your organization.

Our program takes a unique approach that provides you with an introduction to how accounting tools are used in the context of the larger business environment. Then you will learn the knowledge and skills to design, manipulate, and implement accounting products. This intuitive approach to learning allows you to view accounting's role as more than a series of unrelated activities and details, and gives you insight into organizational and ethical issues.

The curriculum is aligned with the national standards set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), teaching critical content for those students who may wish to continue on to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).*
