Accountancy Minor
Description
An Accountancy minor provides students with an understanding and appreciation of fundamental accounting concepts and of how accounting information and systems are developed and used within organizations, economies, and societies. The program may also serve as a potential pathway for non-accounting majors to enter the Masters of Accountancy program (so priority may be given to students who wish to enter that program). Capacity may be limited each year.
