Whether you're at a Fortune 500 company or a small family business, the bottom line is simple. If you understand accounting, you understand business. Our accounting program has opened the door to this in-demand profession for 50 years.

Accounting is known as the language of business, and it prepares you for jobs anywhere. Every organization needs professionals who understand cash flow, taxes and other financial principles. As a CMU grad, you'll be in demand. The accounting program is one of only five in Michigan accredited by the AACSB. That's a seal of approval employers trust.
