Welcome

The Department of Accounting and Finance at UNC Greensboro’s Bryan School of Business and Economics encompasses two closely related disciplines by offering courses of study in Accounting, through our BS and MS in Accounting programs, and in our undergraduate degree program in Finance. Through the combination of both programs within one department, the curriculum has been designed to provide an efficient means for obtaining a dual major in both disciplines. Our minor in Accounting serves as a great complement to students of any major with career aspirations in the business world. The Master of Science program in Accounting is available to those with a variety of academic backgrounds and also serves as an excellent course of study for those interested in obtaining their CPA license. An accelerated MSA degree option is offered for qualified applicants.
