Program overview

What Niagara University says about their program:

Accounting is the financial language of business as it supports the process of analyzing, measuring, and communicating business activities.

Students at NU learn the accounting processes in small, interactive classes and work one-on-one with a distinctive group of faculty made up of internationally recognized teachers and seasoned professionals who possess extensive industry and teaching experience. Open-door policies are the norm for NU faculty, so students have quick and easy access to these industry experts to ask questions and solve problems. Students pursuing a B.B.A. have the option to minor in fraud examination and/or data analytics, and complete courses in nonprofit accounting, forensics, and public accounting.
