Accounting at Southern Arkansas University Magnolia

Accounting degrees open a world of possibilities in the job market. Every business, large or small, needs accountants to summarize the company’s operations and to communicate it to decision makers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts this field will continue to grow at a faster rate than other fields.  Accounting degrees also open up access to management and the directing of operations for a business.

In the first two years, students take a broad range of classes both in the Rankin College of Business and across campus. Upper-level courses focus on developing accounting knowledge and skills.

• Classes include areas related to: Financial, Managerial, Auditing, Tax, Fraud, and others.
• Accounting students are encouraged to have an internship.
• Students are assigned a member of the accounting faculty as an advisor to help with class scheduling, professional mentoring, and career placement.
