B.Sc. in Accounting
The program of studies in the last four semesters emphasizes both breadth of knowledge across all functional areas of a business enterprise, and in-depth study in a particular area of concentration. Elective courses taken from the other faculties of the University complete the students’ broad educational background. During the final year of their studies students have the option of undertaking a senior thesis project under the supervision of a faculty member, or taking two advanced courses from a list of courses specified by the Department.
