As graduates of one of the strongest accounting programs in the state, ATU accounting alumni boast a high pass rate on the CPA and other professional exams. We are proud of the increasing demand for our graduates and the excellent competitive salaries they receive in the job market.

Accounting majors are encouraged to participate in campus and community activities as part of their overall professional development. The Accounting Department sponsors the Accounting Club for current students. Sophomore, and junior accounting majors compete for excellent scholarships, which are funded by friends, employers and alumni.

All of the accounting faculty have earned advanced degrees and are Certified Public Accountants. They have work experience in public and private accounting as well as their academic work. Each member of the faculty invites you to visit them if you have questions regarding your future career plans and a profession in accounting. All faculty offices are located on the second floor of the Corley Building in the School of Business area.
