Bachelor Degrees in Business: Accounting
Numbers dictate our world, and the numbers accounting professionals work with are not simple. Online bachelor's degrees in accounting, taught by expert instructors, are widely available. Your accounting courses should include instruction in auditing, tax structures, software and databases, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and auditing laws. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that nearly 226,000 new accountants and auditors will be added to the labor force between 2006 and 2016.
Becoming a CPA
While a bachelor's degree will help you find work in the field, your chances will be best if you earn your Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation. Becoming a CPA requires passing a rigorous exam, fulfilling work experience requirements, and committing to a standard of ethics. In 2006, median annual earnings for accounting and auditing professionals were $54,630.
