The accounting program was accredited in 1985, one of only 190 programs in the country to achieve this level of recognition. Students interested in taking the New York State CPA examination need to be aware that the undergraduate accounting degree is not sufficient to sit for the NYSCPA exam, and need to explore graduate studies to qualify, such as the Master of Science in Accounting in the School of Management.

Information technology continues to be an important and growing part of business strategy, and individuals with a combination of business and technical knowledge will play a central role in launching and managing contemporary business systems. This combination of business knowledge and of science in Information Technology and Management (BS in IT&M) is an innovative curriculum that develops proficiency in both of these essential areas. The strong management component of the curriculum is a key differentiator of the BS in IT&M degree. The IT&M degree draws on the Association for Computing Machinery’s description of the BS in Information Technology and extends that definition to include a strong managerial component. As a graduate of the BS in IT&M degree, you will be able to analyze technical business problems and identify the information technology requirements appropriate for the business arena and end users. You will also be able to communicate effectively with a range of audiences, and function effectively on teams to accomplish business goals making you highly marketable.

The Business Administration BS offers formal concentrations, which are sequences of courses available to students interested in specific management areas. Gain a broad foundation of knowledge essential for a variety of positions in business, industry and government, and become even more specialized by selecting among the following concentrations: Data Analytics, Entrepreneurship, Financial Analysis, General Management, Human Resources, International Business, Management Information Systems, Marketing, as well as Operations and Supply Chain Management.
