What is the accounting minor?
The Accounting minor is designed to provide students from other majors with a foundation in accounting. Upon successful completion of the minor, students will have coursework that can be applied towards the requirements for licensure as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in California and most other states. Students who wish to pursue such licensure are encouraged to pursue a Master of Science in Accounting or a Master of Science in Taxation upon completion of their undergraduate education.
